Rat Head Phased Arrays

Beschreibung

surface coil array for ¹H imaging of small animals
2-channel and 4-channel* version available
anatomical shape for optimized receive homogeneity and SNR
supporting parallel imaging experiments
mechanically adapted to RAPID rat holder LHRXGS-00563
compatible with both dedicated animal or whole body scanners to allow pharmacological studies on contrast agents at a field strength of clinical relevance
available for non-proton studies upon request
measurements: down to 50 mm x 16 mm
pre-requisites:
– 2- resp. 4-channel receiver system
– pin diode driver (if applicable)
– actively decoupled volume transmit coil

Individually adaptable to the established systems like Bruker, Agilent, Varian and clinical scanners at any field strength.
Please contact us for availability on your NMR system.
