Human MRI Facilities
The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Facility at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) houses a state-of-the-art research-dedicated whole-body 3.0T Siemens Prisma scanner. The system is equipped with:
- a high-performance gradient system (80 mT/m @ 200 T/m/s simultaneously, on all three axes) with an advanced cooling system;
- a standard integrated whole-body coil, 20- and 64-channel head/neck coils, 32-channel head coil, 18-channel body coil, 15-channel knee coil, 32-channel spine coil, 4-channel large flexible coil, and 4-channel small flexible coil;
- several MR-compatible peripheral devices, including an fMRI package (Sinorad), an eye tracker (EyeLink 1000 Plus), an EEG (BrainAmp), a tES (Soterix), and a physiological monitor (BIOPAC), for multi-modal imaging.
