Application Solutions of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Analysis Technology in Life Sciences

I. Application Overview

 

In biomedical animal studies, targeted drug and contrast-agent research, and anatomy teaching, in vivo imaging of small animals such as mice, rabbits, and monkeys is often required. MRI of small animals provides insights into subtle differences within tissues and organs, enabling targeted observation and investigation. With years of expertise in low-field NMR, Niumag has developed contrast-agent relaxometry systems and small-animal MRI platforms with probe sizes ranging from 15 mm to 150 mm.
