Animal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The 9.4 Tesla/31 cm active-shield (AS) magnet is the first ultra-wide bore 9.4 Tesla horizontal bore magnet for biomedical imaging research in continental Europe. The picture shows the magnet in its final position, ramped to field and shimmed to 2.8ppm over 14cm dsv. The system is mainly used for rodent MR investigations. The operating console was provided by Varian Inc. (Palo Alto, CA).
- Magnet: Magnex Scientific 9.4 Tesla / 310mm Bore. Actively Shielded Magnet System
- Length of cryostat: 1900 mm
- Diameter of cryostat: 2380 mm
- Nominal operating current: 181 Amps
- Energy stored: 13.6 MJ
- Console: Varian Inova
Ultra-high magnetic field and ultra-strong gradients open the way for high spatial resolution MRI, exquisite functional and diffusion contrasts, and high resolution spectroscopy.
- Magnet: Magnex Scientific 14.1 Tesla / 260mm Bore.
