11.7T Bruker AVANCE AV3 HD MicroImaging System

The Bruker 11.7 Tesla system features a vertical-bore 89mm magnet with two gradient inserts capable of up to 1500 mT/m, and an assortment of solenoid, birdcage, and quadrature resonators ranging from 2.5 mm to 30 mm for small rodent imaging. 

The 11.7 Tesla system consists of a vertical-bore 11.7T/89mm actively shielded magnet interfaced with a Bruker AVANCE III HD console with microimaging accessories and ParaVision 6.0.1. The system has two magnetic field gradient inserts: a 57-mm mini0.75 insert and a 40-mm micro2.5 set capable of 450 mT/m and 1500 mT/m, respectively.  The system is capable of imaging small rodents in vivo with Bruker AHS probes and accessories.  It is also equipped with a microscopy probe body with variable temperature control and an assortment of solenoid, birdcage and quadrature resonators ranging in sizes from 2.5 mm to 30 mm inner diameters. Dual-tuned coils are available for x-nuclei, including 19F, 31P, 13C, and 23Na.  The ParaVision 6.0.1 software has a full complement of add-on software licenses for imaging and spectroscopy applications including echo-planar imaging (EPI), cardiac IntraGate, ultra-short TE (UTE), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), relaxometry, in vivo spectroscopy, etc.
