Компактный магнитно -резонансный томограф, МРТ.

Function and Application.

The systems gives you the unique opportunity of offering training at a real MRT machine directly on site. This is the only way to provide for realistic and practice-oriented training for all fields of science and medicine. The training software  makes it easy for the users to experience all aspects of magnet resonance tomography. The special option to influence experiments on runtime and to directly visualize the results gives users an unprecedented learning experience. In addition to parameters accessible only through MRT, as for example relaxation times, high-resolution tomographic MR images can be produced. Image artifacts found in clinical MRT can be examined directly in a simple process.

The system differs from other magnetic resonance tomographs only in the sample size and the fact that it is portable. It consists of the control unit, the magnet unit, and the training software and is optimized for education and training purposes.
In addition to carrying out fundamental experiments on signal generation, students can generate images with all relevant contrasts in a high spatial resolution.
