Bonn

The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) is a multi-centric institute dedicated to the research of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s Disease or Parkinson’s Disease. At the site in Bonn a dedicated 7T MRI research scanner is available since late 2013 – to complement standard MRI examinations with state-of-the-art ultra-high field imaging technology.

Research Areas

• Neuroimaging at 7T
• Sequence development – structural and functional
• Application of parallel transmit technology for in vivo studies
• Standardization of high-field MRI

Facilities

Siemens 7T Plus actively shielded magnet with 70 mT/m gradients (SC72)
32 channel receive coil / 1 channel transmit coil
32 channel receive coil / 8 channel transmit pTX coil
fMRI equipment (e.g. screen for visual stimuli, response buttons, …)
