The research team is led by Dr Chengbo Wang, Associate Professor in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, who has brought the world-renowned Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre from the University of Nottingham UK campus to UNNC.

At the MRI Centre, Dr Wang’s team has also developed a whole-body cryogen-free MRI, which can replace the use of liquid helium, a natural scarcity, with copper tape. This improvement has enabled MRI devices to work in more flexible positions.
