I am a member of the pain group, which is based jointly at FMRIB (see our home page) and The Department of Human Anatomy & Genetics (see Dr Irene Tracey's web page).

Details

Researcher and collaborators at FMRIB have limited access to a 'state of the art' whole body 1.5T Siemens MR system which is located in the MRS unit (opposite FMRIB). Briefly, the scanner has 40mT/m gradient strength, high slew rate (fast gradient switching), excellent magnetic field uniformity, the ability to perform local shimming, etc. In addition to the wide variety of pulse sequences suitable for functional, structural and diffusion weighted imaging, the scanner has multinuclear capability, and can acquire single- and multi-voxel (chemical shift imaging) spectroscopy data.

OCMR supports research in The Deptartment of Cardiovascular Medicine and Departments conducting neuroscience research (Psychiatry, Experimental Psychology, Pharmacology and FMRIB). Click here for the official OCMR web site

Note that FMRIB scanning time is allocated for Thursday mornings (9 'til 1pm)

Booking (Last changed 12^th July 2004)

Following unexpected downtime of the FMRIB scanner, we have been allocated additional time on the OCMR scanner.

As of October the process for booking the Thursday morning FMRIB slot has changed. The main things to note are:

FMRIB time on the OCMR scanner is exclusively for pilot studies and projects that have no external source of funding (e.g. grants, etc.). If your scanning is funded then you should book outside of FMRIB time (please contact OCMR managers for advice on how to proceed, alternatively you can take a look at Dr Clare Mackay's webpage for additional information)
Those wishing to book time on the OCMR scanner *must* have both a FMRIB and an OCMR project number
The OCMR project description form can be opened/downloaded here (Microsoft Word format, please contact me if you would like me to send hardcopy or plain text version). Please return completed forms to me (preferably electronically)
Once I have obtained both numbers, I can supply details on how to view the scanner diary and book time on the OCMR scanner

If you have any problems please email me. Good luck!
