A multimillion dollar MRI scanner installed at the Hunter Medical Research Institute is hoped to bring about multiple medical research breakthroughs.
Installed in the soon to be opened MRI Centre at the institute, the scanner is the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere and twice as powerful as others available on the market.
The Acting Facility Manager of the MRI Centre, Professor Peter Stanwell says the scanner will allow researchers to access functional measures of the brain, its structure and chemistry.
