Can I get an MRI for medical reasons at ToNI?

  • Unfortunately not.
  • As a research-only MRI facility, we cannot provide any diagnostic scans. You would have to get in touch with your healthcare provider to receive a brain MRI.
    • You may obtain a referral for a diagnostic brain MRI chosen by your family physician.
    • If you are a student, you may make an appointment to see one of the Student Health Centre doctors.
    • For medical emergencies, please find your nearest hospital and visit the emergency department.

 

Support Us

Donate to support

The University of Toronto has established a dedicated ToNI fund you can donate to online directly via this U of T Engage Donation Page. Your contribution will enable ToNI to maintain its status as a leading human neuroimaging facility by

  • investing in upgrading the MRI hardware and software to the next generation of scanners
  • augmenting our scanning environment with additional equipment to make scanning more accessible and robust for a wider range of participants
  • providing students with training on the scanners — now a prerequisite for securing a graduate school placement, and essential for developing the skills and experience in high-demand in the scientific knowledge industry
  • recruiting post-doctoral fellows (recent PhDs) to work on fMRI-based research projects with our faculty
  • seeding potentially high-risk, experimental projects not yet eligible for grants by federal and provincial agencies

Thank you so much for your support!
