Application of ultra-high-field MRI in preclinical research
October 18th, 2023; 9:00-14:45
The workshop should allow the past and the potential users of the Czech-BioImaging ISI-MR Facility to meet each other and the supporting staff of the ISI CAS.
The workshop, which will be held in English, will be divided into two parts:
- Our current users/collaborators will present their applications of our UHF MR system and the ISI-MR service.
- The ISI-MR staff will explain the service/collaboration possibilities and the existing open-access policy, and demonstrate what data processing tools we implemented and can employ or provide to you.
