U26. NMR: Biomedical Applications II

U26-S06. Biomedical and metabolomic imaging

Biomedical and metabolomic imaging

The service is intended for obtaining images animals such as mice and rats. Longitudinal studies can be performed as well. Thanks to a MRS*DRYMAG 3.0T with MRS*PET CLIP-ON (a PET plug-in), co-localized NMR-PET-CT imagens can be obtained.

Customer benefits

The service is integrated in the University of Valencia core facility that ensures the correct maintenance and the offsite service runed by technicians under ISO 9001.

Target customer

The primary audience are pre-clinic research groups that require punctual or longitudinal studies on such animals. Plant and food researchers can benefit from the fact that the equipment can acquire the image in vertical position preserving the natural flux of fluids in plants.

U26-E07. MRS*DRYMAG3017-Flexiscan

Equipment Features:

Description: 3T preclinical imaging equipment with PET ClipOn attached.

Technical specifications: Imaging equipment with superconducting magnet, capable of varying the angle from 0 to 90º, without cryogenics of 3 Teslas; mouth diameter of 170mm; 600 mT/m gradients with 5% linearity; 30 mm DSV for Homogeneity and 0.05 ppm/hour for stability; 350 Kg of total weight.

Applications:

Acquisition and viewing of in vivo images of mice and rats as well as other beings or materials of similar size.

  • Qualitative and quantitative studies (relaxation times T1 and T2 and even making maps) at the brain level and other organs.
  • Cardiological sequences: diffusion, determination of blood volume…
    Anatomical and functional studies of different organs (for example: renal, abdominal, liver…).
  • Bone-level imaging, distinguish between bone material from soft tissue.
    Fat suppression techniques.
  • Oncological studies to detect and locate tumors and volume calculation.
  • Carry out studies on fruits and vegetables (grapes, kiwi, tomato, seeds…).
  • Perform studies with/without contrast (Gadolinium) and see the differences between the 2 images.
  • Thanks to the possibility of rotating the equipment in a vertical position, images of plants can be obtained (because by their nature, they have to be in a vertical orientation, such as a stem).
  • Ex-vivo studies can also be carried out vertically and in this way we maintain the integrity of the organ (eg heart).
