MR Imaging


Molecular and Preclinical Imaging<br />

Magnetic resonance imaging of laboratory animals is well established<br />

in biological and pharmacological research and has become the<br />

accepted gold standard for many investigations. The range of<br />

applications has expanded dramatically over the past few years -<br />

especially through the introduction of dedicated <strong>RF</strong>-coils.<br />

Volume resonators, available in a wide range of diameters, ensure<br />

optimal signal-to-noise and <strong>RF</strong> homogeneity across dedicated<br />

applications. Active <strong>RF</strong> decoupling allows the flexible combination of<br />

up to 4 independent transmit and receive coils. Multi-channel array<br />

coils enable parallel imaging applications. Integrated preamplifiers<br />

guarantee optimal sensitivity over a large dynamic range.<br />

Abdominal Morphology<br />

Easy-to-use positioning, pneumatic fixation and color-coded plugs<br />

ensure reliable coil handling in seconds. The automatic recognition of<br />

<strong>Bruker</strong> coils guarantees safe operation within the power limits of each<br />

individual coil. This means that non-expert personnel can produce fast<br />

and reliable results, whilst the comprehensive flexibility and operation<br />

needed <strong>by</strong> the MR researcher is never compromised.<br />
