Hardware Overview

 

RF Coils

Specialized RF (Radio-Frequency) coils for many different species and body parts.  (Selected images of our RF coils are shown below)

  • 15-197mm inner diameter 1H volume coils
  • Mouse and rat brain quadrature surface coils
  • Multi-nuclear linear surface coil
140mm 1H Quadrature Volume Coil 125mm 1H Quadrature Saddle Coil 72mm 1H Linear Volume Coil

Rat Brain 1H Quadrature Surface Coil Multi-nuclear Linear Surface Coil
  

Gradient Coils

Specialized gradient sets allow for a large range in specimen sizes (0.5cm-20cm) as well as Animals up to 22kg.

  • S260  (Diameter = 260mm & Max Gradient Strength = 100mT/m)
  • S116  (Diameter = 120mm & Max Gradient Strength = 400mT/m)
  • G060  (Diameter = 60mm & Max Gradient Strength = 950mT/m)
Top Model: S116
Bottom Model: G060
 

Animal Cradles (Images will be added in the Future)

Specialized cradles provide convenient attachment of physiological monitoring equipment, ensure proper temperature regulation, ensure proper delivery of anesthesia, allow for immobilization of the anatomy of interest and  optimize coil placement over specimen.

  • Large Animal Cradle (250mm diameter)
  • Specialized cradle (250mm diameter specialized cradle)
  • Dedicated mouse cradle with head restraints.
  • Dedicated rat cradle with head restraints.
