CIRMA proposes new innovative methods and instruments to take advantage of  low field permanent magnet MRI dedicated to medium size animal studies. CIRMA expertise, with dedicated imaging protocols, innovative radiofrequency coils design and new contrast agents, considerably reduces the gap in image quality between the low and high field MRI. Low-field MRI units with their larger gantry size allow to image animals of various sizes like mice, rats, cats, dogs, ewes, goats, pigs, .. So, “big” animal model like pigs can be used for preclinical studies with lower purchasing and operating costs compared to a high field MRI unit.
