Some of the pre-clinical applications include:
• Brain and organ imaging
• Cardiac investigation
• Tumour assessment
• Investigation of contrast agents
• Magnetic resonance spectroscopy
We understand that data and image acquisition can be time
consuming and labor intensive. Therefore, our systems are
designed to improve throughput, increase effi ciency and
improve accuracy, allowing you to collect high quality data.

Pre-Clinical MRI at its Best
High Field MRI Systems
Available in a range of bore sizes from 160-900mm and in
fi eld strengths from 4.7-9.4T, Agilent's high fi eld magnets
are renowned for their market leading performance. Most
systems are available with active shielding technology. The
proton operating frequency of each system is dependent upon
fi eld strength.
The core products in the range comprise two MRI systems.
The Agilent MRI System is an adaptable MR imaging platform
that can be utilized in many MRI applications well as in the
development of novel research processes.
The Discovery MR901 System is a complete pre-clinical MRI
system operating on a clinical environment interface facili-
tated by GE Healthcare.

A key feature of Agilent’s complete range of RF coils is the
high level of RF homogeneity and stability, which is vital to
effective imaging, whether in the transmit or receive phase,
while maintaining excellent signal to noise ratios.
We have an extensive catalogue of RF coils, which fall into
fi ve key categories central to MRI applications. These are:
• Millipede: Suitable for whole body scanning and micro-
imaging, these coils produce consistent imaging with
reduced potential systematic errors
RF Coils
• Volume: suitable for all pre-clinical applications, the sample
fi ts fully inside the coil, minimizing the distance between
the coil body and the sample surface.
• Surface: ideal for oncology, surface coils enable increased
signal-to-noise ratios.
• Phased Array: ideal for neurological, spinal and cardiac
imaging, these coils are available in a variety of anatomical
spatial arrangements.
• Dual-tuned: these can increase your productivity by a signif-
icant amount, because they capture data at two different
frequencies at the same time. Volume and surface coils are
available in dual-tuned format.

Your Partner in Planning
Evaluating and deciding on the right MRI system takes time,
but it is just the beginning of our relationship with you the
customer.
Here at Agilent, we know that our role doesn’t stop when
your system is ready. Site planning, and ensuring the correct
pre-requisites are in place, are just as important as helping
you select which system meets your research needs.
We will be on hand to help you plan and prepare the loca-
tion for the installation of your new imaging equipment. This
includes an additional site survey to identify and eliminate
potential issues that could impact operation of the magnet
once it is energized.
Maximum Capability, Minimum Footprint
All of our systems are designed to have the smallest
physical footprint possible, while providing you with
maximum imaging capability.
We recommend you have 3-4 rooms dedicated to your new
MRI system, but we will work with you to fi nd a solution to
whatever space constraints you may have.
Implementation Timeline
The implementation of our system is designed to be as effi -
cient as possible, allowing you to continue with your research
quickly.
The four key dates of the system implementation timeline are:
• Start of the project
• Build of the installation environment
• Delivery and installation of magnet system
• Commission and hand-over to the customer
Protecting Your Assets
RF shielding is an available option
with all of our systems, giving you
peace of mind that your installation
will provide a safe working environ-
ment for all personnel who come into
contact with the equipment.
The RF room is a custom, insulated,
turn-key magnet room, which includes
effective sound proofi ng designed to
shield the room’s exterior, while an
oxygen monitor gives you clear indica-
tion of the working conditions inside.

• 1/4 dose - 6 fr/s
: LDF 이미지를 만들기 위해서, 왼쪽 hand switch key
또는 foot switch 의 왼쪽 pedal 을 눌러라.
(Storage speed 가 0 일 때, LIH 는 다음 LIH 에 의해 겹쳐질 것이고
disk 에 저장되지 않는다.)
image 는 Live monitor 에 나타난다. 다음 run 을 시작하면
image 는 다시 LIH 될 것 이다.
LDF 동안 다음 이미지가 보여지고 저장하기 위해서
remote control 또는 mobile view station 에서 Grab key 를 눌러라.
그럼 새로운 run 이 발생하여도 저장 되어 진다.
