Vienna

The High Field MR Center Vienna (HFMRC) was jointly founded at the Medical University of Vienna in 2003 by the Center of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy. The center is an interdisciplinary platform for the development of morphological, functional and metabolic imaging for high and ultra-high-field (3 and 7 Tesla), and for the application of those methods in basic and clinical research.

The HFMRC operates a Siemens 7 Tesla Magnetom Plus and two Siemens 3 T Prisma scanners.

Research areas

• Musculoskeletal MRI
• MRI, fMRI and neuromodulation of the central nervous system
• Metabolic MR imaging and MR spectroscopy
• RF coil development

Facilities

7 Tesla Siemens MAGNETOM Plus, including a removable microgradient insert (9cm, 750mT/m).
3 Tesla Siemens PRISMA FIT
3 Tesla Siemens PRISMA
All MR devices listed are equipped with volume and surface coils for proton imaging and spectroscopy. A number of dedicated RF coils are also available for detecting signals from other nuclei such as 13C, 23Na or 31P.
