Introduction

The Aspect M2™ Compact High-Performance MRI Platform is a compact 1 Tesla micro MRI system used for a broad range of in vivo small animal (rodent) applications and ex vivo studies.

The system allows anatomical, morphological and molecular 2D and 3D imaging, with resolution as low as 100µm.

The system is equipped with isoflurane anesthesia and monitoring system enabling respiratory gating and a variety of coils designated for head and whole-body rat and mouse imaging.

Applications

• Anatomical imaging
• Cancer research (e.g. tumor progression model and treatment results – visualization and quantification)
• Angiography
• Dynamic Contrast Enhance MRI (DCE)
• 2D & 3D ex-vivo imaging
• Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI in 3 directions)
