      Facility & Equipment Details

      Description

      This high-field system has state of the art hardware that delivers superior imaging signal-to-noise-ratio than conventional field strength, enabling anatomical, functional, and molecular MRI research at very high spatial resolution. The system provides services primarily for in vivo rodent (rats and mice) brain and body studies but can be used for ex vivo specimens and potentially other species.

      Specifications

      Paravision 6 software for structural, physiological, and functional MRI, and spectroscopy
      Avance III HD hardware
      Gradient capability of 65G/cm with a 12-cm diameter bore size
      A micro-imaging gradient for mice is available, with 100G/cm and a 6-cm bore
      Two RF amplifiers for standard 1H MRI and for MRI of other nuclides (e.g. 19F, 2H)
      Holders with support for rat and mouse experiments
      An assortment of vendor and custom-made RF coils
