This is a huge advance for biomedical imaging on campus and a long-term effort by many! Exciting things happening in MR on campus - more to come!

Hanging out at the MRI scanner.

Bernie’s in the right place for barrier-breaking research at the Beckman Institute University of Illinois #BernieSandersMittens #Bernie

For those interested in venturing out into concurrent EEG-fMRI with multiband sequences. Thanks to the hard work of Max Egan, Jonathan Wirsich, @Larsen_RJ , Brad Sutton (in press PLOS One ) doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…

The first two human magnetic resonance imaging scanners, invented Sept. 2, 1971, by late Illinois faculty member Paul Lauterbur, are on display in the Illinois MRI Exhibit Open to the Public. bit.ly/3yuuZIA @BeckmanInst

Today human magnetic resonance imaging scanners, or MRI, turns 50! The device that changed medicine was invented by #ILLINOIS professor Paul Lauterbur. His two original MRI scanners are now on display at @BeckmanInst 🔸 bit.ly/MRI_50

🔶Innovate like it's 1971.🔶 Magnetic resonance imaging was invented on Sept. 2, 1971, and #ILLINOIS was involved from the start. Celebrate by visiting the new Illinois MRI Exhibit at Beckman Institute. #tbt #PowerofI ➡️bit.ly/MRI_50

Interested in the history of MRI? Stream a public lecture from Charles Springer, Oregon Health & Science University: "Celebrating MRI turning 50: Lauterbur at Stony Brook: Field Gradients Forever" 📅4 p.m. TODAY (9/2) 📽️Watch live: beckman.illinois.edu/live #ILLINOISmri

Yesterday, the 50th anniversary of MRI, was a great start to the ACNN workshop program at the Beckman Institute, Illinois! Here are the inspiring talks by Kamil Ugurbil and Charlie Springer beckman.illinois.edu/about/videos/l…

Beckman neuroscientists determined safety standards for multiband EEG-fMRI imaging, which can scan the brain rapidly & at high resolution. 🧠 "This safety study facilitates a comprehensive understanding of brain function." 📰bitly.is/3gZ9ABI doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Early echoes of return to in person events! #ISMRM #RSNA2021

Bearded dragons are America’s No. 1 companion lizard. Researchers at the Beckman Institute and Vet Med at ILLINOIS are making MRI scans safe and available to these scaly family members... and we made a video about it! 🐉📽️ Watch “How to MRI your dragon"➡️bit.ly/3FD3kJe
