Open MRI

CHHM houses one of two vertical open MRI systems in the world that are wholly dedicated to research. An important advance from traditional MRIs, the CHHM Open MRI system allows bones, joints and cartilage to be imaged during weight bearing – information that is critical to better understand joint function. Located within the Radiology Department at the Vancouver General Hospital, the MROpen (PARAmed) is part of the UBC MRI Research Centre.

Is it possible to book the laboratory? Yes! Staff at the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility would be happy to address any questions you may have and to work with you to coordinate your project.
