The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas
Did you know...
The current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, using phase and frequency encoding, was developed over 25 years ago.
During the past two decades, the ability to diagnose and monitor diseases has been enhanced by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear techniques. Advances in diagnostic imaging and applications will continue to be made through the formation of multidisciplinary teams of chemists, physicists, engineers, computer scientists, and others. A Department of Biochemistry initiative to bring chemists to UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas appropriated $3.1 million from Operating Funds investment income to renovate two floors of a key research building. As part of the renovation, areas originally designed in the 60's were torn down and rebuilt to create state-of-the-art laboratories and offices for the department's scientists. This newly renovated research space houses high end instrumentation including the most advanced nuclear MRI equipment used in biomedical research today.
When renovation in the Cecil H. and Ida Green Science Building is complete, the approximately 10,000 square feet of research space will accommodate some of the world's top chemists and biochemists committed to advancing prevention and treatment of a myriad of diseases
