The mission of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Lab at the Illinois Institute of Technology (MRIIT for short; pronounced 'emrit ) is to develop in-vivo and ex-vivo MRI methods and neuroimaging resources, and to apply these technical developments towards the diagnosis and monitoring of brain disease.
MRIIT is home of the IIT Human Brain Atlas (young adult atlas), the MIITRA Atlas (older adult atlas), and the ARTS biomarker. All resources are publicly available.
