Combines enhanced morphological information and superior soft tissue contrast of MRI with the highest molecular sensitivity and accurate quantification of PET
Highlights
150 mm FOV
Hybrid Imaging
Low to High Field
Combining PET with MRI enhances the capabilities to study detailed morphological changes in different organs and tumours, adding more precise information of the distribution and behaviour of the PET tracer.
Bruker’s sequential PET/MR instruments are offered at 3T for translational research and at 7T and 9.4T for high-field applications in mice and rats using Bruker’s BioSpec Maxwell MRI technology. This is combined with Bruker’s SiPM PET technology, providing the highest sensitivity, high spatial resolution and precise quantification across the entire FOV. A touch screen controlled motorized animal transport system simplifies the workflow and supports a broad spectrum of application fields, such as oncology, functional and anatomical neuroimaging, cardiac imaging and stroke models. All of this powered by the Paravision 360 software, allowing MRI users to follow familiar MR imaging workflows to obtain valuable PET/MR data immediately.
