UCSF LARSON ADVANCED IMAGING GROUP

Our team is in Byers Hall at the UCSF Mission Bay campus, as a part of the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) at UCSF. The primary facilities available for research include 3T and 7T MRI systems, Hyperpolarizers, an electronics shop, and a machine shop, all of which are part of the Surbeck Laboratory for Advanced Imaging and are supported in part by the NIH-funded Hyperpolarized MRI Technology Resource Center. We are also actively involved in development of technology for PET/MR systems, using the time-of-flight PET with 3-Tesla MRI at China Basin... Our research group takes an engineering-driven approach to develop advanced medical imaging methods, with most of our projects focusing on MRI although dabbling with CT and PET as well. We have a broad range of projects, focusing on human or human-ready imaging technology, including... We work on a range of projects, taking on new ones opportunistically, and projects currently include Metabolic MRI with hyperpolarized contrast..
