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.
Due to the increased signal-to-noise ratio it is possible to acquire functional and anatomical images of the human brain with sub-millimeter spatial resolution. For this reason, the limiting factor of the resolution often is the motion of the subject. Even with careful padding, smallest displacements due to breathing or heartbeat cannot be avoided. To overcome this problem, we are using a motion tracking system from Kineticor. It consists of a camera mounted in the scanner bore and a moiré phase marker attached to the subject's head. The system has a tracking precision of up to 10 µm / 0.01° at a frame-rate of 80 Hz. The recorded subject motion is used to adapt the image slice position and orientation in real time during the experiment.
For the investigation of the reaction of the brain to different kinds of stimulation, the scanner is equipped with a visual, auditory and tactile stimulation system. The optical stimulation setup for functional MRI and functional MRS available at the 9.4 T human MRI scanner consists of a projector and a mirror system combined with stimulation software.
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 Ultra High-Field MRI System: 9.4 T MR Whole Body System-based MRI service. Please contact us directly if you have a request.
