A world leader in helium free MRI systems for preclinical research laboratories MR Solutions has now developed the largest and most advanced range of preclinical nuclear medicine combination systems of any manufacturer.

The PET and SPECT nuclear systems can be stand alone or clipped onto the front of any of MR Solutions’ extensive range of high field, liquid helium free MRI systems or its range of cutting edge CT systems. The PET scanners can also be configured to operate as an insert in the bore of all the MRI systems providing simultaneous imaging. The PET and SPECT scanners range in size from 15 g for small rodents up to 12 kgs for larger animals.

The PET insert (for simultaneous scanning) or PET clip-on module (for sequential scanning) use the latest silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology. This provides true depth of interaction (DOI) from hardware with two pixelated layers of scintillator crystal with different matrices providing <0.8 mm resolution. All of the PET modules are fitted with MR Solution’s superior ringless detector technology.

The SPECT clip-on modules are available in different configurations with a range of transaxial views allowing optimal imaging for different sized animals.

All of MR Solution’s preclinical scanning systems are fitted with the easy to use Preclinical Scan multimodality interface. This software provides access to all the functions – MRI/CT/PET/SPECT.  Advanced functionalities are available for experienced users.

Both the CT and MRI scanners include a motorised animal bed allowing the animal to be scanned without any manual input from the operator. These precision animal beds are compatible across all of MR Solutions’ CT and MRI ranges.

MR Solutions, based in the UK, has over 30 years’ experience and in excess of 2000 installations including spectrometer sales across the world. MR Solutions holds the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise awards, achieving this for Innovation in 2016 and 2019 and for International Trade in 2017. MR Solutions also has offices in the US and technical support in all the major centres.
