MRI – Research & Development
The development of a new MRI magnet requires a rapid and reliable magnetic measurement system to verify and perfect the magnet modelA computational simulation of the field generated by a magnet. More. Our standardA standard is the internationally agreed-upon physical representation of a unit. For example, a caesium clock is the standard for... More product line covers most of your needs in this area. Besides, we develop custom and semi-custom solutions – for example, an adaptation to a new field strength or geometry, or for the passage from a reduced-scale to a full-sized model.
From general-purpose to mapping – always the ultimate in precision
Metrolab’s single-point NMRNuclear Magnetic Resonance. A resonance phenomenon seen when you irradiate a sample in a magnetic field with an RF field.... More magnetometers are as sophisticated as they are robust and easy to use. These versatile, ultra-high-precision instruments are perfect for measuring the B0In MRI, B0 refers to the strong primary field used to polarize the protons in the body. More fields typically encountered in MRI applications. They are suitable for simple hand-held field-strength checks, for example, during rampingThe process of injecting current to bring the field up to the operational field. Used particularly for superconducting magnets. More, as well as sophisticated long-term stability studies, simultaneous measurements at several locations, or even a simple field map.
