Mission of the MRZ PUK
The MRZ PUK is part of the Technology Platform of the UZH. It specializes in questions and research in the field of anatomical, structural and functional imaging as well as magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
The MRZ is organized as a user lab. Depending on the needs of the research groups, they are supported in the process from study planning and implementation to the evaluation of functional, structural or MRS-based data.
