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。因此，马尔堡大学于2010年购买了一台专门用于研究目的的MR扫描仪（场强：3特斯拉）。与此同时，大量资金投入到扩大磁共振断层扫描的科学应用基础设施上，例如，通过建立专门的神经科学磁共振成像IT基础设施和建立专门的核心设施，在马尔堡大学，磁共振扫描仪被来自不同研究学科和专业领域的许多神经科学工作组使用。研究项目的主题很广泛，从基本的神经科学问题（例如感知过程的神经相关性检查）到分析和测量方法的方法学导向的发展（例如多中心MRI研究的质量保证方法的发展），再到临床导向的临床项目（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研究组FOR 2107“情感障碍的神经生物学”，SFB / TRR 135“感知的基本机制”，国际研究培训组1901“大脑在行动”和BMBF联盟BIPOLIFE，目前使用的MR扫描仪现已达到其技术极限。一方面，由于设备磨损导致的停机时间和相关的维修成本正在增加。另一方面，由于现在的技术已经过时，因此性能大大降低，最高水平的研究越来越不可能。因此，一个新的MR扫描仪应购买。在这个建议中，目前和计划的研究项目的大学马尔堡，介绍了科学环境和MR扫描仪的使用概念概述。

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.
