New Brain Research Imaging Center Under Construction in Cardiff University

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 25 Feb 2015
Cardiff University (Cardiff, UK) has begun building an advanced MR imaging technology center, with the help of Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany). More...
The center will use the latest brain imaging and brain stimulation technology to investigate the causes of neurological problems such as schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and dementia.

The Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) is planned to become one of the top brain imaging facilities in Europe, and will cost GBP44 million to build. Cardiff is already a world-leader in psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience research.

Four Siemens MR machines will be installed at the center in early 2016, a MAGNETOM 7-T, a MAGNETOM Connectom 3-Tesla scanner with 300 mT/m gradients and two MAGNETOM Prisma systems.

Prof. Derek Jones, director of CUBRIC, said, “The colocation of the 7 Tesla system and the Connectom microstructural imaging system is an extremely powerful combination for probing brain structure, function and biochemistry, allowing us to answer questions that have previously been limited by technology. We now have that technology. Together with the magnetoencephalography, EEG and brain stimulation facilities within the new center, we will have a truly unique set of equipment that will enable us to characterize the brain in health and disease.”
