Chapel Hill, N.C. —
UNC Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine will acquire a whole-body magnetic resonance scanner through a $2 million grant it is receiving from the National Institutes of Health.
UNC plans to install a “3 Telsa” scanner at its Biomedical Research Imaging Center. It will be used for research, including brain development and studies of infants at a high risk of developing autism spectrum disorder.
The scanner also will reduce the time of MR procedures to fewer than 10 minutes from some 30 minutes.
