researchers say.

I have absolutely loved running my study at CAMRI. The staff is super lovely, helpful and very onto it. They were not afraid helping me with a very involved and difficult study setup and finding exactly the right way to record what I wanted to measure. From walking in with my idea and setup all the way to scheduling and running participants day in day out – it was a pleasure working with everyone at CAMRI!
As a researcher, I've had a great experience working with CAMRI. The technicians and receptionists are not only professional but also incredibly helpful—always ready to troubleshoot or accommodate our research with a positive attitude. The whole team does their best to make the research process as smooth and stress-free as possible, and it really shows. Their support has made a big difference in keeping everything running efficiently, and I'm really grateful for their help.

As a research user, my experience with CAMRI has been outstanding. Their expertise has been instrumental in advancing our work in visualising and studying various intricate structures of the human eye. The team at CAMRI is not only technically proficient but also incredibly supportive, providing thoughtful guidance and flexible solutions tailored to our specific scientific goals. I highly recommend CAMRI to any researchers seeking a collaborative environment backed by world-class imaging and research expertise.
This work with CAMRI and Siemens really gave us cutting-edge QSM data, so we are very thankful for that.
