M5™ System Specifications
The M5™ compact, high-performance MRI system is designed with a larger bore opening for dedicated imaging of both mice and rats. The system provides non-invasive 3D anatomical, functional and molecular read-outs in rodents and ex vivo samples.
The system’s small footprint and lightweight design enables flexible placement where its needed most — even behind the bio-containment barrier for in vivo imaging.
