MR Solutions has introduced its second-generation MRI magnet technology to its 3- and 7-tesla, cryogen-free preclinical systems.
Features include variable field operation, higher intrinsic magnetic field homogeneity, larger fields-of-view elliptical in shape to better fit the subject, and automatic field ramping.
Installations of the second-generation technology include the National Institute for Health in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.; the University of Manchester in the U.K.; Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology; and the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory in Portugal.
MR Solutions also launched its new PreClinical Scan software for integration of the company's PET and SPECT technology.
The company provides PET/MRI or SPECT/MRI imaging either for independent acquisition, sequential acquisition, or simultaneous acquisition. Optical and CT imaging capabilities also are possible, the firm said.
