The Lucas Service Center operates as a University Service Center. It houses four whole-body MRI systems (three 3.0T, one 7.0T) that are available on a pay-for-use basis to researchers throughout Stanford University as well as to non-Stanford researchers. Indivdual researchers are trained in magnet safety and scanner operations by the magnet manager or MR research technologist. Unsponsored research projects must be pre-approved by the Research Committee of the Department of Radiology. Collaborations with the Lucas Center researchers are invited and encouraged.
