Feature Highlights

1. Optimised for rodent and high-resolution sample imaging
Ultra-high magnetic field coupled with rodent cryocoils provides structural and functional images with higher resolution and signal to noise ratio compared with standard RF coils, along with significant reduction of scan time

Applications

1. Nervous system
2. Circulatory system including in vivo cardiac imaging
3. Muscular system
4. Skeletal system
5. Renal system
6. Anatomical imaging of ex vivo tissue samples
7. Imaging of plants and materials

Technical Capabilities

1. Small animal imaging
2. Ex vivo samples
3. Image objects as large as 7cm in diameter and as small as 3 mm
4. Can image tissues of interest at ultra-high resolution with isotropic resolutions up to 15 µm3

Summary

This small animal scanner is optimised for rodent and high-resolution sample imaging. The ultra-high magnetic field coupled with rodent cryocoils provides structural and functional images with higher resolution and signal to noise ratio compared with standard MRI.
