Features of BioSpec 3T Preclinical MRI System
- Superior MRI magnet technology ensures the magnet remains on field during power outage and/or cold water failure for up to 4 hours * Maximum freedom for your animal experiments with a magnet bore of 180 mm * Support for very large rats with best-in- class free RF-coil access of 82 mm * Significant signal-to-noise boost in vivo of at least a factor of 3 with the MRI CryoProbeTM * Widest range of RF coils (~30) for mice and rats available, including coils for head, brain, cardiac, body, x-nuclei and multi-purpose applications * Fully-featured ParaVision® preclinical user interface integrates other modalities for streamlined workflow * MRI sequence portfolio of more than 1,000 sequence variations, including wireless cardiac imaging using navigator based IntraGate methods with a choice of cartesian or radial readout, as well as short echo time imaging, such as UTE and ZTE * Best in class homogeneity of ±0.1 ppm for a 50 mm DSV due to solid magnet design * Crisp and highly resolved images with a gradient strength of up to 900 mT/m at high gradient linearity of ±3.5%(DSV 50 mm) * Up to 6 higher order, high power shim channels (e.g. 3750 Hz/cm2 for XZ,YZ) guarantee optimal performance for spectroscopy and MRI * In-house development and production of all key components (software, magnet, gradient, spectrometer, RF-coils) ensures the best performance and short repair times
