Medical Imaging

(IDIBAPS)

Services:
  • To provide services related to medical imaging techniques for researchers from IDIBAPS and other institutions, and to industries connected with health.
  • To perform first-rate basic and clinical research into medical imaging using structural and functional magnetic resonance, resonance spectroscopy, molecular imaging, image processing and other types of medical imaging.
  • Researcher training in techniques and basic research to enable them to conduct experimental and clinical studies, thereby allowing them to explore the advantages of translational research.
