Health Technology Research Infrastructure houses 13 laboratories at the Otaniemi campus.The laboratories are part of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation in the School of Electrical Engineering. The laboratories provide high-quality medical technology equipment to several research groups and for teaching purposes in the Health Technology Engineering Programme. The research infrastructure includes EEA Health Technology Laboratory, AMRI Laboratory, and 3D Cell Culture Laboratory, as well as Electronics Work Laboratory, Microsystems Technology Laboratory, and Thin Film Lab.

AMRI Laboratory
What type of research is done at the laboratory?
In the AMRI (Accessible Magnetic Resonance Imaging) laboratory, a high image of the magnetic image of the well field is built and developed. The laboratory researches and develops new magnetic resonance imaging and methods that improve the accessibility of magnetic resonance imaging. Assistant Professor Ilkka Laakso leads the research group Electromagnetics in Health Technology. The group develops computational methods for multi-physics modelling of the human body. The research combines numerical analysis of electromagnetic fields with anatomical and functional modelling, having multidisciplinary applications in biomedical engineering (device development), clinical practice (diagnosis and rehabilitation), and neurosciences (brain research).
What is your most important research equipment?
The laboratory's most important equipment is the magnetic resonance equipment prototype and the protective room. The laboratory's magnetic resonance imaging equipment is used by Ilkka Laakso's Electromagnetic Health Technology research group. The most important parts of the MRI device prototype are the C-shaped magnet, gradient system (coil, amplifier and power supply), free waveform generator and data acquisition equipment.
