Centre For Magnetic Resonance Investigations
The Kingston Upon Hull Centre for Magnetic Resonance Investigations (CMRI), which opened in 1992, is a magnetic resonance imaging centre located in the city of Kingston upon Hull (Hull) in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, UK. It is situated in the grounds of the Hull Royal Infirmary hospital in the centre of the city.
The centre carries out both cancer research studies, under the auspices of the University of Hull, and clinical scanning, under the auspices of the local NHS trust, Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals.
The centre currently has three MRI scanners; two 1.5 tesla scanners owned by the NHS (a Philips Intera and a GE Signa) and a state-of-the art 3.0 tesla MR 750 GE Signa scanner owned by the University which was installed in January 2009 (one of the first 3.0 tesla whole-body capable systems in Europe).
