Committed to the advancement, the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases through technology creation and development, translational research and education.
Welcome to the Lucas Center for Imaging (LCI). The LCI is a federal- and University-regulated service center that provides state-of-the-art MRI technology and expertise for research projects from investigators inside and outside the Stanford University research community. Our expertise encompasses all aspects of MRI data acquisition, reconstruction and analysis and we work closely with our users to develop, implement and validate imaging protocols to answer basic science and clinical research questions.
We look forward to addressing your MRI research needs.
Sincerely,
Fernando E. Boada, PhD
The LUCAS Center for Imaging facilities include 3.0T whole-body MR systems, a 7.0T MR system, and a whole-body PET/MR system from GE and Siemens, complete with patient/animal preparation facilities and image processing/readout workstations.
Scanners are available on pay-per-use basis for Stanford University and Stanford University affiliated outside researchers.
The LUCAS Center for Imaging houses 3.0T, 7.0T, and PET/MR systems and are available on a pay-for-use basis to researchers throughout Stanford University as well as to non-Stanford researchers. Individual researchers undergo mandatory training in magnet safety and scanner operations. Collaborations with the LUCAS Center for Imaging researchers are invited and encouraged.
The Radiological Sciences Laboratory (RSL) is a division of the Radiology Department that conducts research in areas of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, X-Ray, X-Ray Computed Tomography, Diagnostic Ultrasound, Positron Emission Tomography and MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound. The RSL is housed in several locations including the LUCAS Center for Imaging and includes 3.0T, 7.0T, and PET/MR systems.
