Preclinical MRI systems BioSpec
MRI platforms for small animals from 3 to 18 T – from compact desktop to ultrahigh-field
A family of preclinical MRI systems for the anatomical, functional and molecular imaging of small animals.
Request a quotationBioSpec, BioSpec Maxwell, PharmaScan and ultrahigh-field configurations support longitudinal research in neuroscience, oncology, cardiology and physiology. ParaVision 360 integrates planning, pulse sequences, reconstruction, analysis and multimodal alignment.
The portfolio covers compact BioSpec Maxwell 3–9.4 T without regular filling with liquid helium, versatile BioSpec 7–9.4 T and ultra-high-field systems 11.7–18 T. Magnet diameter, gradients, RF coils and available sequences are determined by a specific model and task.
Systems lineup
- BioSpec Maxwell - compact system of 3-9.4 T without regular dose of liquid helium, designed for visualization of small rodents
- BioSpec – a universal platform of 7-9.4 T for a wide range of preclinical models
- Ultra-high-field systems 11.7–18 T – maximum sensitivity and resolution for breakthrough research
Software and protocols
- ParaVision 360 unified platform for MRI, PET and micro-CT with more than 100 ready-made protocols and scanning programs
- CASL package with automatic cerebral blood flow mapping (CBF) and minimal operator intervention
- ECG-free cardiac imaging IntraGate FLASH/UTE with retrospective reconstruction of all phases of the heart
Precision of positioning
- Animal transportation system with sensor control and automatic centering of the cut through the magnet isocenter
- Multistation shooting with automatic gluing of images for maximum field of view
- Magnet status mapping and remote monitoring
