DESCRIPTION:Dr.Chris Rodgers is the Head of 7T MRI (magnetic resonance ima
 ging) Physics at the Wolfson Brain Imaging Center based at the Cambridge B
 iomedical Campus.  Chris will provide an overview of the scanner and how h
 is group is developing advanced MRI and MRS methods to push the boundaries
  of MRI techniques.  He will present on how the latest methods can be used
  in clinical studies in collaboration with colleagues in Clinical Neurosci
 ences and elsewhere.  \n\nChris holds a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship funded b
 y the Wellcome Trust and the Royal Society which supports his work in Camb
 ridge and also in Oxford.   His work by his research group at the OCMR cen
 tre\, University of Oxford\, develops and translate advanced 7T MRI and MR
 S methods to study metabolism in the human heart and liver.\n\nThe MRI sca
 nner's field strength is 7T (Tesla)\, which equates to a magnetic field 14
 0\,000 times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.  The overall weight
  of the scanner is less than 25 tonnes and produces a rf output of up to 1
 6 KW.  The system re-liquefies the helium used to cool the magnet.\n\nOpen
  to all.  For further details go to https://communities.theiet.org/communi
