Preclinical magnetic resonance imaging has greatly advanced all aspects of basic research, disease and therapeutic studies. Non-invasive in vivo imaging of small animals and rodents provides structural and functional information with extremely high spatial and temporal resolution. CD BioSciences offers a wide selection of instruments designed to perfectly meet the needs of scientists for research equipment.
The main system components are a Bruker 7T magnet with Avance II hardware.
We support many imaging applications including:
1. High resolution anatomical imaging
2. Diffusion imaging, including tractography
3. Functional MRI
4. Proton and Phosphorous spectroscopy (MRS)
5. Cardiac imaging
6. Cell tracking
Radiofrequency coils for multiple applications are available including rat and mouse brain surface coils and three quadrature volume transmit/receive coils of various diameters. We are equipped for both proton and phosporous spectroscopy applications including a phosphorous surface coil and volume resonator and programmable decoupling.
Two gradient sets are available for different applications, a 12 cm gradient with 660 mT/m strength and 4570 T/m/s slew rate and a higher performance 6 cm gradient with 1000 mT/m strength and 11250 T/m/s slew rate.
Cardiac and respiratory monitoring systems are available for gated acquisition. Temperature monitoring is available for feedback controlled he
The 7T (20 cm bore) small animal imaging system provides high field strength and gradient performance for high resolution studies of small animals and tissue samples.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues. CD BioSciences offers a 7.0T Scanner-Bruker-Avance II Console-based MRI service. Please contact us directly if you have a request.
