Varian 9.4T MRI
Horizontal Bore

The Varian 9.4T/31 cm actively shielded horizontal bore MR system is suitable for in vivo imaging and spectroscopy investigations of small animals ranging from mice to rabbits. The system is equipped with two sets of actively shielded gradient sets: 1) a 21 cm inner diameter gradient set capable of generating 20G/cm, and 2) a 12 cm inner diameter gradient set capable of generating 40G/cm. The state-of-the-art Varian Unity Inova console on the system is capable of performing multinuclear investigations and has waveform generators on all RF and gradient channels, which allow arbitrary pulse shaping and easy implementation of sophisticated imaging and spectroscopy pulse sequences. A number of single-tuned quadrature and dual-tuned linear imaging coils, slotted tube resonators and surface coils are available for multinuclear MR studies. MR methods, which are used for a variety of applications, include echo-planar imaging, diffusion weighted imaging, back-plane reconstruction, single voxel localized spectroscopy, chemical-shift imaging, gradient-enhanced spectral editing, multiple-quantum techniques and other specialty pulse sequences.
