UCI is committed to bringing cutting-edge imaging resources to our research community. In 2017, a partnership between the Office of Research, the School of Medicine, the School of Social Sciences, and the School of Biological Sciences was formed to further develop and integrate neuroimaging across campus. The Campus Center for Neuroimaging (CCNI) includes two human 3T MRI facilities, a PET facility, and a small animal preclinical and translational MRI facility.
UCI is home to two outstanding human imaging research facilities – FIBRE and the NIC.
FIBRE: The Facility for Imaging and Brain Research (FIBRE) is UCI’s new human imaging facility. Built around a state of the art Siemens Prisma 3T MRI scanner, FIBRE offers cutting edge research-dedicated MRI scanning services for the UCI community. Learn More…
NIC: The Neuroscience Imaging Center (NIC) houses both our research-dedicated high-resolution PET scanner and our research-dedicated 3T Philips Achieva MRI scanner. The High Resolution Research Tomography (HRRT) is only one of five PET scanners in the USA that is able to produce such high resolution PET scans. Learn More…
UCI is currently building a Preclinical and Translational Imaging Facility centered around a 9.4T Bruker small animal scanner. The aim and scope of the facility is to enable UCI researchers to use mutli-modal MRI as a tool to enhance our understanding of normal physiology, disease and evaluate potential therapeutic agents.
