About the Core

The Core for Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CAMRI) provides state-of-the-art research MRI capabilities for investigators at UNMC and across the greater Omaha area. Housed in UNMC’s Hixson-Lied Center, CAMRI operates a Siemens 3T Prisma MRI instrument that can collect high quality data of any MR modality using advanced gradients and research-grade pulse sequences. A variety of head coils (20-, 32-, and 64-channel) are available to optimize data collection for the needs of specific studies. Studies incorporating functional MRI can take advantage of CAMRI’s suite of MRI-compatible response devices, mirrored 32-inch LCD screen, and integrated stimulus-display computer.
