Research
Advancing Imaging
We conduct leading magnetic resonance research and clinical research at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, Center for Clinical Imaging Research and University of Minnesota Health and affiliate hospitals.
Center for Magnetic Resonance Research
CMRR is home to some of the most advanced MR instrumentation in the world, including the world’s first 10.5T clinical imaging magnet, complemented by human resources that provide unique expertise in imaging physics, engineering and signal processing.
Center for Clinical Imaging Research
CCIR, a National Cancer Institute Center of Quantitative Imaging Excellence (CQIE), provides advanced imaging for specialized clinical and clinical research protocols. Specialized reproducible imaging protocols are implemented with consistent quality via a research-compliant team approach.
