The requested 3 Tesla high-end magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system will be made available to the various research groups at the Halle (Saale) location. For this purpose, an interdisciplinary research unit will be set up as a core facility ("Halle MR Imaging Core Facility" of the Martin-Luther-University [MLU] Halle-Wittenberg), which will be supported by all faculties of the Universitätsmedizin Halle (Saale). The core facility will be run on the basis of a user regulation, which is issued by the relevant committees of the Universitätsmedizin Halle (Saale).The installation of the MRI system aims to implement numerous interdisciplinary research projects by exploiting existing synergies. The individual planned research projects are based on the research focus areas and clinical profiles of the Medical Faculty of the MLU Halle-Wittenberg and, hence, are focusing on MR imaging in oncology, cardiac and vascular medicine as well as aging medicine. Further research projects in adjacent areas are already in the planning phase or are currently being designed. In addition to the significant strengthening of the research focus areas of the Universitätsmedizin Halle (Saale) and the establishment of new excellence centers, the device should also promote further development of new MR imaging methods, which are elementary in the exploration of physiological and pathophysiological processes. The choice fell on an MRI system with a magnetic field strength of 3 Tesla because of the spatial and temporal resolutions being achievable as well as the good method transferability into clinical diagnostics and therapy monitoring in daily routine. Many of the outlined research projects require an appropriate availability of the device due to their longitudinal design with strict time limits. In addition, measurements in demanding body regions (e.g. abdomen, heart) and in patients with limited examination compliance are envisaged necessitating a modern, adequately equipped MRI system. Both requirements are not met with the currently available clinical MR scanners with their extremely intensive workload in patient care.

所要求的3特斯拉高端磁共振成像(MRI)系统将在哈勒(Saale)地点向各研究小组提供。为此，将设立一个跨学科研究单位作为核心设施(马丁路德大学[MLU]哈勒-威滕贝格分校的“哈勒磁共振成像核心设施”)，该中心将得到哈莱大学(SAALE)所有院系的支持。核心设施将根据医科大学(SAALE)相关委员会发布的用户条例运行。安装核磁共振系统的目的是通过利用现有的协同作用来实施许多跨学科研究项目。个别计划的研究项目是基于MLU Halle-Wittenberg医学院的研究重点领域和临床概况，因此，重点是肿瘤学、心脏和血管医学以及老龄医学中的磁共振成像。邻近地区的进一步研究项目已经处于规划阶段，或目前正在设计中。除了显著加强哈雷大学(SAALE)的研究重点领域和建立新的卓越中心外，该设备还应促进新的磁共振成像方法的进一步发展，这些方法是探索生理和病理生理过程的基础。选择了磁场强度为3特斯拉的MRI系统，因为空间和时间分辨率是可以实现的，而且方法可以很好地移植到临床诊断和日常治疗监测中。由于纵向设计有严格的时间限制，许多概述的研究项目都需要适当的设备可用性。此外，设想在要求严苛的身体部位(如腹部、心脏)和检查依从性有限的患者中进行测量，这就需要一个现代化的、配备充分的MRI系统。这两个要求都不能满足目前可用的临床磁共振扫描仪，因为它们在患者护理中的工作量非常大。
