The applicants lead research programs that investigate human biomechanics using the unique capabilities of the upright open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner (MROpen, Paramed, Genoa, Italy) at UBC’s Centre for Hip Health and Mobility (CHHM). UBC’s MROpen is the only scanner of its type in the world dedicated to research. MRI is a very important research tool in biomechanics because it provides high-resolution images of both soft tissues (e.g. muscle, ligament, cartilage) and hard tissues (bone) with almost no risk to the participant. What sets this MRI scanner apart from others is that its “open” geometry allows us to obtain these images in functional positions (eg weightbearing, full range of joint motion). With its ability to image function, the MROpen is driving work that explains the mechanics of a broad range of activities, including research programs studying hip mechanics, speech and swallowing, and spine mechanics.

申请人领导的研究计划，调查人体生物力学使用直立开放式磁共振成像（MRI）扫描仪（MROpen，帕拉梅德，热那亚，意大利）在UBC的髋关节健康和移动中心（CHHM）的独特功能。 UBC的MROpen是世界上唯一一款专门用于研究的扫描仪。 MRI是生物力学中非常重要的研究工具，因为它提供软组织（例如肌肉，韧带，软骨）和硬组织（骨骼）的高分辨率图像，对参与者几乎没有风险。这款MRI扫描仪与其他扫描仪的区别在于它的“开放”几何结构允许我们在功能位置（例如承重，关节全方位运动）获得这些图像。 凭借其成像功能的能力，MROpen正在推动解释广泛活动力学的工作，包括研究髋关节力学、言语和吞咽以及脊柱力学的研究项目。
