Installed in late Summer 2025, the Siemens MAGNETOM Cima.X 3.0T is a state-of-the-art whole-body imaging system dedicated to research studies in humans and larger animals.

The CFMRI team has been carefully evaluating the performance of the new Cima.X MRI scanner since the installation. 

We are ready to officially begin accepting new imaging project submissions on the 3T West Cima.X!

A dedicated CFMRI Cima.X documentation website is in progress and will be available very soon.
