Dear Users
I am sorry to say that we are having some problems with MRI and MEG.
MRI is down because the Y gradient system is faulty. The engineers from GE have been working on this since Monday morning. Unfortunately the problem is compounded by a water leak from the new air handling system into the floor space where there are high voltage cables.
MEG has also been problematic of late due to an intermittent fault with a key board, the REI card. This handles information flow from the sensors. Although we have, in the past, managed to correct the fault, the problem now, as of this week, seems to be occurring more frequently. We have taken steps to replace the board and we hope to have done so by Friday. Unfortunately the work we are doing to completely replace the electronics will not be finished until later in the year.
I will keep you informed of progress with correcting these faults.
In the meantime, I apologise for the inconvenience caused,
Gary
