Varian 4.7T Research MRI
Use Type:
2 (Fee for service)
Location:
University Hospital
Overview:
The 4.7T system is very unique; the strongest full-body system in Canada* and only one of the two systems in the world at this field stregth. It provides a good balance between taking an advantage of the high-field system while avoiding some of the downsides of the ultra-high field systems.

The system is dedicated to Allan H. Owen and his family for a donation that helped to secure funds not only for this particular system, but also for the whole facility.
The system has been recently (in 2008) upgraded with a new gradient and shim coil sets, and enable various applications:
- High resolution brain imaging
- Functional imaging (fMRI)
- Brain spectroscopy
- Sodium brain imaging
- Knee imaging (sodium and proton)
