Micro–Imaging MR Systems
Overview
Micro-imaging systems have a vertical bore with very limited space. A special "Micro-
Imaging Kit" integrates the Model 1030 Monitoring and Gating System with these MR
systems. The Micro-Imaging Kit effectively eliminates RF interference between the
Micro-imaging MR system, the Model 1030's ERT Module and the external
environment. The kit allows gated or ungated images free of RF artifact to be obtained
while monitoring the physiological status of the mouse.
Micro-Imaging Kit
The Micro-Imaging Kit consists of an ERT Module RF Shield, a shielded Lemo cable
and an assortment of in-bore sensor and sensor extension cables.
The ERT Module is placed inside the RF shield and connected to the Lemo cable,
battery pack and fiber optic cable as shown in the picture above. The connection at the
other end of the Lemo cable is connected to a Lemo receptacle mounted in the imaging
probe.
