Preclinical Imaging
One Instrument, Many Applications
Our line of compact MRI systems is designed to facilitate a wide variety of in vivo applications and research models, empowering scientists, pharmaceutical and research professionals to explore and address a myriad complex biological challenges.


Our systems are designed to be used to routinely and repeatedly quantify phenotypes in models of disease, including:
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular
- Contrast-based Molecular Imaging
- Diabetes and Obesity
- Embryology/Developmental Biology
- Nephrology
- Neurobiology
- Stem Cell/Cell Tracking
Anatomy and Morphology
In vivo soft tissue imaging for morphological characterization. 2D and 3D imaging can be performed quickly and easily for preclinical model assessment.

Cancer Research
Detection, follow-up, and quantification of tumor development and progression.

Neurobiology
In vivo anatomical imaging of the brain, spine and spinal cord for assessment and follow-up of neurologically-based diseases.

Multi-modality Imaging
Easy registration with other modalities such as Optical, PET, SPECT and CT to enable powerful multi-modality phenotyping.

Anatomy and Morphology
In vivo soft tissue imaging for morphological characterization. 2D and 3D imaging can be performed quickly and easily for preclinical model assessment.

Ex Vivo Imaging
High-resolution, high throughput, 3D MR-based histology imaging of fixed samples and embryos for toxicological and developmental studies.
