Project description

GIfMI is an MR imaging center that provides high-level technological and practical support to a broad community of researchers across various faculties, institutions, and commercial entities. As a Core Facility, GIfMI will further professionalize and position itself as a service center to maintain the MRI equipment and peripherals at a state-of-the-art level, to replace the MRI scanner in 2029, and to support MRI research within UGent and beyond in the long term.
