Vision

Overall Purpose

The main purpose of HUMANI is to serve as a cross-disciplinary meeting place for researchers in human neuroimaging and modeling particularly concerning the use of ultra-high field MRI. The goals of establishing this meeting place are to foster scientific collaboration, build competence and quality in research, generate new research ideas, and strategically develop the 7T MRI infrastructure.

Goals

  • Foster scientific collaboration
  • Build competence and quality in research
  • Generate new research ideas and develop research proposals
  • Strategically develop the 7T MR infrastructure.

Strategic Foundation

Advanced human neuroimaging is a strategic focus area for NTNU and Trondheim. This is clearly demonstrated by the Norwegian 7T MR Center, the first and only ultra-high field MR system in Norway for human use hosted by NTNU and co-funded by the Norwegian Research Council NTNU Helse Midt-Norge and St. Olavs Hospital. In addition, NTNU and St. Olavs Hospital jointly provide state-of-the-art clinical imaging facilities for both MR and PET. Multiple departments and research groups are actively engaged in human neuroimaging with a strong shared interest in supporting this research activity including the 7T MR Center and its users.
