About ImageTech Lab
The lab provides a unique combination of high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) together with high-density magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Used together, the high field 3T whole-body MRI and high-density 306-channel MEG offers researchers unparalleled possibilities to 鈥渨atch the brain in action鈥� by visualizing and combining a range of different powerful measures of brain function and structure.
These sophisticated medical imaging tools will enable the region鈥檚 top health innovators to bring rapid advances in the treatment of devastating brain disorders and diseases, brain injury, brain tumours, epilepsy, autism, Down Syndrome, aging and dementia, depression, addictions and mood disorders.
The facility鈥攔epresenting many firsts鈥攂rings together a partnership between 大象传媒 and Fraser Health, to ensure British Columbia continues to be globally competitive in advanced brain and body imaging. The lab is made possible with initial funding from Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), and B.C. Knowledge Development Fund, and from generous contributions from Philips Canada, CTF and a number of other individuals and organizations.
