our current knowledge about neurological diseases and disorders like multiple sclerosis,
Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and stroke among others. The BNAC is
equipped with multiple 3T MRIs with active research agreements, a 9.4T Bruker MRI
with CryoProbe and a prototype microPET insert, and a dedicated PET/CT research
scanner.
