This is the open-access wiki of the Core for Advanced MRI (CAMRI) at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). The wiki allows for easy updating and dissemination of the latest research methods and procedures in use at CAMRI and is distinct from the official BCM web page for CAMRI. Directions to CAMRI are here. To be added to the e-mail list for users, contact camri-staff@listserv.bcm.edu NEW AND UPCOMING!! The Trio Scanner (scanner 5) has been upgraded to a PRISMA FIT!! If interested in starting a study on the new scanner please contact us. Scan rates: Normal scan rate:$540/hr Phantom scan rate: $175/hr $250/hr for level 1 training sessions $500/hr for level 2 training sessions Technologist assistance= %15 fee Beginning July 1, 2022 fees will increase: -Normal scan rates will increase to $540/hr -Usage of a technologist will accrue a 15% fee ($540 x %15=$80) Seminar Series is Back!!! We are excited to announce the CAMRI Seminar Series will be starting up again. Our first session was January 13, 2022 with a presentation from Chadi Abdallah. Going forward, seminars will be held on 2nd and 4th Thursdays each month from 11 am - noon by Zoom conference. For more information and schedule click HERE. We are soliciting journal club / lab mixer presentations for Feb 10, March 10, and April 14. Please send nominations (name, lab, title of the talk and preferred presentation date) to junqian.xu@bcm.edu Booking a Session To schedule time on the scanner, you must use the iLab website https://bcm.corefacilities.org/service_center/show_external/3684.

CAMRI provides technology and services for advanced imaging studies of the function, physiology and anatomy of humans and large animals, with a special emphasis on blood-oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD fMRI) of the human brain. The center houses two Siemens Prisma Fit scanners (3 tesla field strength). A full complement of product pulse sequences are available for: High-resolution structural imaging Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) fMRI Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) Single and multi-voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Research sequences are available for specialized imaging applications. For functional studies, equipment is available for: stimulation of the auditory, visual, somatosensory and gustatory modalities Infrared eye tracking of subject eye position Manual and vocal response recording. Consultation is available for pulse sequence optimization and design, as well as for analysis. Users can scan with a MR technologist, or can elect to obtain training to scan independently. CAMRI does not maintain its own database of scientists needing help or seeking positions, but we encourage users to visit the Gulf Coast Consortium Jobs Board http://jobs.gulfcoastconsortia.org/
