Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research

We aim to advance science and clinical medicine through the development, utilisation and promotion of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) techniques.

For staff

OCMR Patient information: COVID-19

As of 23 December 2020 OCMR is still open and scanning as usual. Government guidance states that medical appointments should continue so if you have a scan booked with us in the future, your appointment will go ahead as normal unless we phone to tell you otherwise.

We have state of the art magnetic resonance facilities, including three whole body MRI scanner and a hyperpoleriser for metabolic studies.
