DESCRIPTION
Integrated whole-body preclinical PET/MRI system for in-line imaging.
By combining the world's highest-performing PET system with state-of-the-art, compact MRI technology, nanoScan PET/MRI gives users the power to combine soft tissue images with detailed quantitative functional imaging data within just one study. The compact system is easily installed in a day and requires practically zero investment for site preparation. The plug-and-work preclinical system is easy to operate and maintain by life scientists without MRI expertise.
