MRI成像系统-M3

 M系列小动物磁共振成像系统是Aspectimaging公司推出的专用的小动物MRI，采用高性能钕铁硼永磁体，实现高分辨率的小动物核磁共振成像。

    M系列分为，M3，M7，M12，MRI-PET几个型号，除用于常见的大鼠和小鼠成像外，也可定制用于兔子，猴，小型狗等实验动物的核磁共振活体成像。还可以原机增加PET线圈，升级成PET/MRI,PET分辨率达到0.8mm.

 

相比于传统的超导式小动物MRI，永磁式M系列小动物MRI有明显的现实优点:

1、价格只有1/3甚至更低

2 、免去新建核磁屏障室的麻烦，普通实验室即可

3 、M系列运转消耗为零，比传统磁共振每年可结省几十万的运转消耗费

4 、更好的磁共振造影剂T1成像效果

 M系列小动物磁共振是一款小巧紧凑桌上型microMRI，容易摆放。M系列小动物核磁共振系统平台完全满足最严格的安全要求标准，可以确保实现无边缘磁场、零外场强度，因此无需任何特殊外围防护/屏蔽室或其他操作规程限制。

 

M3 Compact MRI for DedicatedMouse Imaging

The M3?compact, high-performance, one-touch MRI system is the smallest of AspectImaging’s M-series and is intended for dedicated imaging of mice. The M3enables to generate high-resolution 3D anatomical, functional and molecularimages with a “bore” size optimized for mice. The M3’s small bore correlates toa smaller total size (footprint), lighter weight, and more affordable cost. Thesystem can be uniquely placed behind the bio-containment barrier for in vivoimaging. In addition to its comprehensive suite of applications for mousephenotyping, Aspect Imaging’s LumiQuant? package for generation of 3Dtomographic quantification of luminescence and co-registration with compact MRis optimized for use on the M3 platform.

One instrument, multipleapplications

The M3has all the capabilities to routinely and repeatedly quantify phenotypes inmouse models of disease, including:

·Cancer

·Cardiovascular

·Contrast-basedMolecular Imaging

·Diabetesand Obesity

·Embryology/ Developmental Biology

·Nephrology

·Neurobiology

·StemCell / Cell Tracking

3D Whole Body MorphologicalImaging

The M3compact, high-performance MRI system enables high-resolution 3D whole bodymorphological imaging of mouse models of disease. Biologists and researcherswithout prior MR or imaging experience can now leverage the gold standardmodality – MRI – for morphological imaging. The M3 is an in vivo imagingplatform that is:

·Easy tolearn,

·Effortlessto operate, and

·Fast togenerate reproducible, quantitative results of phenotypes and therapeuticefficacy.

Maintenance-free

The M3,like the whole family of M-series magnets, provides a high-performance in vivoMRI system that is virtually maintenance free. The system requires:

·Nocryogens

·Noauxiliary power**, and

·Nocompressors or plumbing that require servicing

**The M3system only requires 1x 15 Amp outlet with 30 Amp receptacle.

Infrastructure-free

The M3,like all compact MRI systems from Aspect Imaging, can be placed in mostlocations in a facility and doesn’t require an infrastructure typically neededwith superconducting MRI system or cryogen-free MRI systems. The systemtherefore does not require any of the following:

·Noshielding

·Noauxiliary power supplies or services

·Noplumbing, pumps or compressors

应用：

应用于肿瘤生长，肿瘤转移成像，神经生物学，脑血管病，心血管学，生殖与发育，糖尿病与肥胖，解剖和组织胚胎学，磁共振造影剂等分子影像领域的小动物活体成像研究，并可以通过DICOM与microPET,小动物SPECT,micro-CT,小动物超声，小动物活体荧光，生物发光等多种小动物活体成像技术进行多模态融合成像。
