PharmaScan

Technical Information

The PharmaScan^®, a high-field, easy-to-use and at the same time easy-to-install and very cost-effective MR-system. It is designed for MRI applications on small animals such as mice and rats in the field of routine pharmaceutical, biomedical and molecular imaging research.

Magnets

Field strengths from 4.7 to 7 T deliver maximum sensitivity for high speed and high resolution MRI applications
Minimum stray fields are guaranteed by Bruker's UltraShield™ technology enabling easy and cost efficient siting

Gradients

Standard actively shielded gradient system
Integrated shim coils deliver optimal field homogeneity
Extra cooling produces unique duty cycle specifications

Spectrometer

Spectrometer platform AVANCE™ III enables both MRI and MRS applications
Scalable architecture provides up to 4 parallel receiver channels
Real-time spectrometer control (optimization of acquisition parameters during scan)
Digital pre-emphasis and digital RF generation

RF Coils

Volume resonators at a range of 23 mm up to 72 mm inner diameter
Active RF decoupling allows operation of independent transmit and receive coils
Multi-channel array coils enable parallel imaging applications
Integrated preamplifiers guarantee optimal sensitivity over a large dynamic range
Hardware recognition of RF coils automatically configures all relevant parameters
