The aim of MRI and Spectroscopy Unit, managed by Cyril Poupon, is to push the limits of resolution using ultra-high field MRI.
- METRIC team: Developing clinical ultra-high field MRI
- MIDAS team: Developing molecular imaging and contrast agent/drug delivery using UHF MRI/US to propose novel diagnostic/theranostic approaches
- NeuroPhysics team: Understanding the biophysics of neural networks at microscopic scales using UHF MRI
CICLOPS team: Studying the brain metabolism using NMR
spectroscopy and heteronuclear UHF MRI - EQUADIM team: Innovating in the field of antenna design dedicated to UHF MRI
