Swiss Center for Musculoskeletal Imaging (SCMI)

 Scientific Competence Centers & Academic Networks and Initiatives

The SCMI is an open-access platform operated by Balgrist Campus, in Zürich. We provide medical (radiological) imaging services for research and other purposes. Any project from a small methodological imaging study to a medium-scale multi-center clinical trial with imaging endpoints can be supported. Users from industry, e.g., for product testing in strong magnetic fields, are also welcome – as are local, Swiss, and international users.

We offer

  • Support for project planning
  • Full-service MR and photon-counting CT imaging by professional radiographers during office hours
  • Self-service imaging (MRI, Micro-CT, or Ultrasound) for qualified users at all times
  • Optimization of image-acquisition protocols, e.g., tailored to a research questio

Other services can be arranged upon request.

A limited number of initial, explorative feasibility tests, e.g., in magnetic-resonance imaging research, may be performed at no cost. Usage fees are listed on our website.
