The University of Chicago 3T MR Imaging Research Center houses a research-dedicated high field Magnetic Resonance System (3T-MRI). The facility has the necessary equipment for functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), structural MRI as well as devices for presenting visual and auditory stimuli to people undergoing fMRI scans and recording their behavioral responses.

Associated with the imaging center is an excellent group of researchers working to develop magnetic resonance imaging methods and apply them to brain mapping in relation to neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, and social sciences.

3T MR imaging research center regular operation time: Monday - Friday: 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m..

The MR safety classes are scheduled on second Wednesday of each month, 4:00pm - 5:00pm in BRIC Q-300 conference room and are mandatorily required for 3T users who will access 3T MR scanner suite at AMB Q300.
