as needed.
MR imaging: This
important clinical and research service provides a full-range of diagnostic and research
MR services, including functional MR, MR spectroscopy, MR angiography, MR venography, CSF
flow imaging, as well as complete structural MR imaging of the brain, head and neck,
spine, spinal cord, and plexus.
CT: State-of-the-art
CT equipment is available including the ultra high-speed ""Light
Speed"" scanner from General Electric, permitting extremely high quality CT
angiography as well as a full range of other diagnostic and research CT applications.
Faculty members
