The Opus Building is home to the Center for Advanced Imaging Research. The center's leading-edge MRI facilities are available for research purposes to all Mayo Clinic investigators.
Overview
Mayo Clinic's Center for Advanced Imaging Research aims to advance the science of imaging techniques such as MRI and CT to deliver more accurate diagnostics and better quality of care. The center brings together clinicians and scientists from across Mayo Clinic in unique collaborations to enhance innovations in medical imaging techniques.
The Center for Advanced Imaging Research, which is in the Opus Building on Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, consists of 40,000 square feet of space across two floors. The Opus Building is one of the largest in the country to be used exclusively for imaging research. The center's imaging equipment includes whole-body 1.5-tesla and 3-tesla MRI scanners. Multiple research laboratories are housed in the building, facilitating valuable collaborations to advance the science of imaging.
Mayo Clinic MRI researchers have a long history of developing cutting-edge applications for patient care. They continue to discover new imaging technologies that lead to better understanding, diagnosis, progression, prevention and treatment of diseases.
