M-Series Compact MRI
The M-Series™ systems are cryogen/cooling-free, self-shielded, high-performance MRI systems based on permanent magnet technology. The M-Series systems allow preclinical researchers, with or without in-depth knowledge of MR physics, to utilize the gold standard method in soft tissue imaging without the cost, complexity, and technical burden of superconducting MRI systems.

Based on the permanent magnet technology, there are no special infrastructure requirements, operating and maintenance costs are minimal, and they can be easily integrated into existing lab space. These 1 Tesla systems are optimized for anatomical, functional, and molecular imaging applications in cancer, cardiac, neuroscience, and multimodal imaging. The optional SimPET insert can be integrated with the M-Series for simultaneous PET/MRI acquisition.
MR contrast agents further enhance the capabilities of this imaging modality, providing invaluable insights into tissue/tumor perfusion, myocardial infarction size, and molecular targets. Gadolinium and Iron-Oxide based contrast agents can be used with the M-Series product line. These systems are ideal for contrast agent imaging as it operates at 1 Tesla (T), which embodies an increased sensitivity to the effects of Gadolinium compared to higher-field MR systems.
