HYQ Research Solutions, LLC was awarded a $998,104 Cooperative Agreement from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to develop high dielectric constant materials for accelerating 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging. The two-year award will support the company's efforts to increase MRI signal-to-noise ratio by over 50% and cut scan times in half through incorporating high dielectric constant materials into clinical imaging coils. This novel...

This $2,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will enable the acquisition of a new 15.2-Tesla small-animal MRI scanner at Washington University in St. Louis. This state-of-the-art instrument will replace an aging 11.74-Tesla MRI system that has become unsustainable due to excessive liquid helium consumption. The new 15.2-Tesla scanner will provide a 2.6-fold increase in signal-to-noise ratio compared to...

This $2,000,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA #93.351) will enable Yale University to acquire a state-of-the-art 11.7T Bruker preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system with cryogenic coil technology. The new ultra-high field MRI scanner will replace an obsolete 20-year old system, providing significantly enhanced sensitivity and resolution to support advanced functional,...
