Dear Users
This afternoon (from 4.15 pm in B020), there will be a special YNiC seminar:
"An open discussion about the proposed new 3T MRI scanner and new projector for fMRI."
Please see message from Gary below.
Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be available after the seminar.
Best wishes Rebecca
Gary's message:
I will present the current status of the procurement process and the timing of the stages for installing the new magnet.
I will also show the site plan options and ask for feedback and comments.
One of the big things that has to be done is to create a specification wish list for the new scanner and associated coils. A list of core features will be provided and again comments/discussion will be sought.
Last, we are planning to upgrade certain pieces of hardware such as the projection system. Dan Baker and colleagues have a desire to use a new type of projector and again this will be presented and discussed.
ALL welcome. We need your feedback. The new MRI scanner will provide the infrastructure for all imaging for core research, for the translation of CHyM hyperpolarisation work for clinical use and for diagnostic scanning, for the next 10 years, so it is reasonably important that we get it right, or at least try to.
Gary
