ParaVision 360

Single platform for managing MRI, PET and micro-CT studies of small animals

More than 100 ready-made protocols, automatic matching and quantitative data analysis

A single software platform for managing preclinical multimodal imaging and data analysis.

ParaVision 360 integrates MRI, PET and micro-CT workflows into a common interface, from research planning and data collection to reconstruction, automatic three-dimensional alignment, quantitative analysis and export. The platform contains ready-made protocols for mice and rats and supports both single and dynamic research.

The official brochure lists more than 100 validated in vivo protocols and scanning programs. MLEM, OSEM, 3D-FBP and MAP reconstructions are available for PET, as well as scattering, random matching, decay, PSF and PVC corrections. Automatic 3D pairing and data export in DICOM and NIfTI formats are supported.
