Magnetic Resonance User Lab
The Magnetic Resonance (MR) User Lab provides access to state-of-the-art MR scanners to institutions and research groups of the University and ETH Zurich, the University Hospital Zurich and external groups. The MR User Lab offers access to three human MR scanners with tools for anatomical imaging, functional MRI and MRI safety tests. Various advanced MRI methods developed at the Institute for Biomedical Engineering are available. External users need to apply for scan time through an application process.
