Preclinic magnetic resonance imaging

TECHNIQUE
Preclinical translational imaging technique with multiple applications. Used in the investigation of animal disease models and their evolution, for correlation with the clinic. It allows structural and anatomical, compositional and functional information to be obtained from the interior of a sample.

SAMPLES ANALYSED
Due to its high contrast resolution in soft tissues, it is considered the technique of choice for the study of central nervous system and musculoskeletal lesions, differentiation and characterisation of tumours, cardiac imaging, among others. In recent decades magnetic resonance imaging has also been used in food research and materials science.
