Agilent 9.4T MRI Small Animal Scanner

MBI 9.4T MRI

Description:
Agilent 9.4T MRI small animal scanner 210 mm  7T scanner manufactured by Agilent Technical details: 1H 63/108 mm coil designed as a standard 16-element coil with 6 cm sample diameter, which is suitable for small animals imaging 20 mm surface coil kit includes: 20 mm surface coil 1H-19F (370-420 MHz) 20 mm surface coil 31P-13C (75-170MHz) 20 mm surface coil 2H-15N (39-82MHz).   The coil design is a single-loop or multiple-loop with 20 mm diameter, suitable for small animal MRI/MRS applications. 1H 72/119 mm volume Coil 1H phased array coil for rat heart with integrated low noise and high input impedance preamplifiers The 9.4T animal MRI system (Agilent) is a flexible and adaptable magnetic resonance imaging scanner for pre-clinical imaging and research. The system has an intuitive user interface and a flexible programming environment and can carry out a wide range of pre-clinical imaging functions. The ultra high magnetic field provides structural and functional images with higher resolution in comparison with clinical MRI. It can be used for brain, abdominal, cardiovascular, muscular and articular, as well as dynamic molecular imaging. How do I get access?

Mediso NanoPET-CT Small Animal Imaging System

Mediso NanoPET-CT

Description:
Mediso NanoPET-CT Small Animal Imaging System Small animal PET/CT system manufactured by Mediso Technical details: Single Axial FOV 10 cm Number of rings 2 Transaxial FOV 12 cm Gantry opening 16 cm Crystal size 1.12x1.12x13 mm Total number of crystals 36 504 Spatial Resolution with 3D OSEM 0.7 m   The Mediso NanoPET/CT provides a high-precision gantry for exact alignment of PET/CT data. The gantry bore opening is 16 cm and accommodates imaging of mice, rats and rabbits with interchangeable beds and radiation shields. Mediso's gating package (respiratory & cardiac/ECG) is available for optimal image quality. A complete 360° PET detector ring consisting of 12 modules provides the ultra high resolution and sensitivity, with the reconstructed resolution in the centre of the field of view being less than 1.0 mm. Image reconstruction is achieved with a fast, iterative and 3D real / post Tera-Tomo™ PET engine using 3D OSEM (Ordered Subset Expectation Maximization) protocols. PET and/or CT scanning can extend up to 300 mm in the axial direction by automated translation of the bed for whole body imaging, with a transaxial range of 45-125 mm. Real time reconstruction of CT data can achieve voxel sizes in the range of 13-37 micron. TM is available for image visualisation, quantification and analysis, including co-registration of PET with CT volumes.Low dose CT protocols ( Imaging chambers provide integrated animal support, with gas anaesthesia, controlled heating and probes for intravenous injection. Open access system with a one-step animal loading procedure and single motion PET and CT acquisition to enable automatic fusion of PET and CT images Integrated preclinical animal handling system including plug-in animal beds with remote transfer of gas anesthesia, temperature controlled environment, repeatable positioning of the animal model mages with higher resolution in comparison with clinical MRI. It can be used for brain, abdominal, cardiovascular, muscular and articular, as well as dynamic molecular imaging. How do I get access? Instrument bookings Bookings are made via ARIN, as per standard MBI protocol. Users need to liaise with Adrian Quintarelli (Baker IDI OHS General Manager) to obtain keys to the scanner, animal holding and radiopharmacy rooms, and regarding AMREP-specific training/OHS requirements. Please contact Adrian at  [email protected] Users should note requirement for radiation safety training and individual user radiation licence (Dept of Health) before use of radiopharmaceuticals can commence.
