Rat Head Phased Arrays

Description

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.
