Message from the CEO
NIF is keen to support your research, from the straight forward to the very sophisticated. If you don’t believe us, check out the first story – MRI blood flow in a foetus in utero in an anaesthetised sheep. How cool is that? I have been doing MRI for 36 years, and every time I hear about this experiment, it blows my mind. It shouldn’t be possible – but it is! So try us! No matter how way out your idea might sound.
We look forward to hearing about your challenges in 2020. Have a great holiday.
Season's Greetings from NIF Central
We at NIF wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We hope that you have joyful times and enjoy a safe festive season.
2019 has been a busy year! NIF welcomed a new Board, launched the monthly eNewsletter and welcomed three new Fellows. The NIF Network has trained more than 150 users in highly specialised imaging and eResearch techniques, and NIF instruments have seen over 26,000 hours of utilisation! As we reflect on 2019, we are grateful to the many amazing people that contribute to NIF's success.
Thank you all, and look forward to working with you again in 2020 for an even bigger and better year!

Measuring fetal blood flow with 4D MRI
Researchers at the University of South Australia are using 4D MRI to measure fetal blood flow. Their work is uncovering fascinating insights into how the fetus maintains delivery of oxygen and glucose to the brain where these substrates are in short supply. Understanding these intricate mechanisms may lead to intervention strategies and more targeted therapies in situations where fetal substrate supply is restricted.
