Preclinic magnetic resonance imaging

Translational preclinical imaging technique with multiple applications. Suitable for both diagnostic and clinical research studies. It allows structural, compositional and functional information to be obtained from the interior of a sample.
Due to its high contrast resolution in soft tissues, it is also considered the technique of choice for the study of central nervous system and musculoskeletal lesions.
In recent decades MRI has also been used in food research and materials science.

RATES:
The ACQUISITIONS required for each project will be determined on the basis of specific characteristics and needs.
PURCHASES do not include CONSUMABLES which, if provided by BioImaC, will be invoiced at the indicated rates.

SELF-SERVICE:
NON-OPERATED PURCHASES imply the use of the equipment on a self-service basis, for which it will be necessary to make a training course beforehand.

NIGHT-TIME SERVICES:
Only provided with ex vivo samples.

PRESERVATION OF SAMPLES TO BE ANALYSED
At the time of formalising the service request, the user will indicate the specific conditions required for the conservation of each sample during the estimated time of making the experiments.
The storage conditions available at BioImaC are: room temperature, refrigeration in a fridge between 0ºC and 8ºC, storage in a freezer below -10ºC and desiccator.
For other different conditions, the user must provide the samples at the time of making the experiment and collect them at the time the experiment is finished.

CANCELLATION OF RESERVATIONS:
Must be made more than 48 hours in advance. Cancellations with less notice will result in invoicing for the estimated analysis time.
