The mission of the Dynamic Imaging Science Center (DISC) is to better understand the science of human movement in health and disease through the development and use of non-invasive imaging. The center is supported by the National Science Foundation, the Viterbi School of Engineering, and Siemens “healthineers.” It is home to an ultra-rare low field MRI machine, one of only three of it’s kind in the world, which is being used in research at Viterbi to develop “forever implants” to better understand when implants are failing, and to help manufacturers optimize new devices and doctors avoid unnecessary surgeries.
