Computer lab
The computer lab is located in the centre of the facility, and provides access to multiple computer stations, including several SUN servers and workstations (with MedX and MRVision software for image analysis and LCModel for spectroscopic analysis) and some PC & MAC workstations for data storage and processing (loaded with software such as Matlab, SPM, DTI Studio etc).This room also serves for informal meetings and more formal presentations if necessary.

Patient preparation room
This room is dedicated to patient preparation for the procedure. From a simple physical exam, or a transfer of immobile patients to MR safe wheelchair/patient bed, to more elaborate blood tests or IV installation. It contains a fully-equipped crash cart, MRI compatible patient monitor for the 1.5T (In-Vivo-NIBP, pulse oximetry and ECG) and 3.0T/4.7T (Medrad-pulse oximetry); 2 MRI-compatible infusion pumps (Medrad) and other amenities of a hospital room, like medical air, oxygen and suction.
