Martinos Center Imaging Core Facility

The Martinos Imaging Core supports studies from across the biomedical research community. Its extensive and expanding suite of imaging technologies includes some of the most cutting-edge MRI scanners, PET scanners, MEG scanners, TMS systems and optical imaging facilities available today.

Access to the Core technologies is open to all qualified investigators from academic, medical, government and industry labs. While our mission primarily involves research and development, we also provide a clinical MEG service to Mass General Brigham. A clinical MRI service is not available.
