MRI
GE Signa HDx 3.0T 16-Channel MR system (General Electric, Milwaukee, WI.): located at the
BioImaging Research Center, Coverdell Center, at the University of Georgia Athens campus. The
magnet has a TwinSpeed dual-gradient design, 16-channel architecture with a four-blade Volume
Reconstruction Engine (VRE). Its Zoom gradient modes provides amplitudes up to 50 mT/m and a
slew rate of 150 mT/m/ms. This 3T MR scanner has been used to provide high resolution structural
MR imaging and high quality functional imaging.

Computing
There are twelve thin clients connected to multiple SUN servers that support both Linux and
Windows environments. A total storage capacity of two terabytes is available to researchers in the BIRC. We also have two Windows
workstations and a Linux server equipped with two dual core Intel Xenon processors in our
Electronics Lab.

Other
In the Electronics Lab, we have various equipment for RF coil prototype design and testing. The lab
is equipped
with E5061A network analyzer (Agilent Technology), TDS3032B digital oscilloscope (Tektronix),
and other equipment including RF signal generators, power supplys, etc
