The Glasgow Experimental MRI Centre (GEMRIC) contains two 7 Tesla small bore animal scanners.

Magnetic resonance imaging is non-invasive, with resolution down to 40 microns or less.

The system can produce images based on 30 or more physico-chemical parameters which are used for examining tissue anatomy, morphology, blood flow, metabolism and bio-chemistry in vivo.

GEMRIC serves as a resource for biomedical imaging research in Scotland.
