3-Tesla Magnetic resonance tomograph

磁共振成像（MRI）是认知和临床神经科学中最重要的成像方法之一。马尔堡大学因此在2010年购买了一台核磁共振扫描仪（场强：3特斯拉）专门用于研究目的。与此同时，还投入了大量资金，用于扩大核磁共振断层扫描的科学应用基础设施，例如，为神经科学核磁共振成像建立专门的信息技术基础设施，并建立专门的核心设施。在马尔堡大学，核磁共振扫描仪被来自不同研究学科和专业领域的众多神经科学工作组使用。研究项目的主题是广泛的，从基本的神经科学问题（例如，感知过程的神经相关性的检查）到分析和测量方法的方法学发展（例如，多中心MRI研究的质量保证方法的发展）到面向翻译的临床项目（例如，情感障碍的神经生物学研究）。磁共振成像也是马尔堡大学众多合作项目的核心组成部分，例如DFG研究小组FOR2107“情感性障碍的神经生物学”、SFB / TRR 135“感知的主要机制”、国际研究培训小组1901“大脑在行动”以及BMBF联盟BIPOLIFE、ASD-NET和保护- ad。目前使用的核磁共振扫描仪已经达到了技术极限。一方面，由于设备磨损导致的停机时间和相关维修成本正在增加。另一方面，由于现在的技术过时，从而大大降低性能，在最高水平的研究越来越不可能了。因此，应该购买一台新的核磁共振扫描仪。在本提案中，马尔堡大学目前和计划的研究项目进行了描述，科学环境提出，并概述了核磁共振扫描仪的使用概念。

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most important imaging methods in the cognitive and clinical neurosciences. The University of Marburg therefore purchased an MR-scanner (field strength: 3 Tesla) in 2010 exclusively for research purposes. At the same time, considerable funds were invested in the expansion of an infrastructure for the scientific use of MR-tomography, e.g. by setting up a dedicated IT-infrastructure for neuroscientific MR-imaging and by establishing a specialized core facility.At the University of Marburg, the MR-scanner is used by numerous neuroscientific working groups from different research disciplines and specialist areas. The topics of the research projects are broad and range from basic neuroscientific questions (e.g. examination of the neural correlates of perception processes) to methodologically oriented developments of analysis and measurement methods (e.g. development of quality assurance methods for multicentre MRI studies) to translationally oriented clinical projects (e.g. research into the neurobiology of affective disorders). Magnetic resonance imaging is also a central component of numerous collaborative projects at the University of Marburg, e.g. in the DFG research group FOR2107 "Neurobiology of Affective Disorders", in the SFB / TRR 135 "Cardinal Mechanisms of Perception", in the International Research Training Group 1901 "The Brain in Action" and in the BMBF alliances BIPOLIFE, ASD-NET and PROTECT-AD.The MR-scanner currently used is now reaching its technical limits. On the one hand, downtimes and associated repair costs due to device wear are increasing. On the other hand, due to the now obsolete technology and thus much lower performance, research at the highest level is increasingly no longer possible. Therefore, a new MR-scanner should be purchased.In this proposal, current and planned research projects of the University of Marburg are described, the scientific environment is presented and the usage concept of the MR-scanner is outlined.
