This is required to support imaging of the large animals (non-human primates) in the newly acquired large bore MRI scanner. The NCTR Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Laboratory (Division of Neurotoxicology) has the need of constant large live animal imaging and use in the MRI system for current and future work using all commercially available imaging methods and techniques. These coils and other upgrades and additions are specifically designed for rat brain and body applications, providing very homogeneous signals with low noise and therefore particularly suitable for parametric mapping and spectroscopy methods. Coils are tuned for the specific frequency of our MRI system (200 MHz) and are physically configured to accept animal handling apparatus, which is also required and included in this package. Physiological monitoring unit is absolute necessity for in vivo animal imaging, especially of large animals, like non-human primates. This is must-have equipment for any kind of animal work. The number of software licenses and methods like magnetic resonance spectroscopy or cardiac imaging are needed for the system to be able to serve all kinds of scientific needs possible at the current stage of magnetic resonance imaging science.
