 The 7.0 T animal scanner was delivered in March 2006 and occupies a newly renovated 1500 sq-ft suite. It is equipped with a 33 cm high-power gradient system at 250 mT/m strength necessary for high-resolution imaging. Similar to our human scanners, it comes with parallel imaging capability through four channels (upgradeable to eight). Also, high-order shimming controls are used to ensure a homogeneous magnetic field. In addition, it has two broadband transmission channels and proton de-coupler for multi-nuclei MR spectroscopy scans. The scanner is controlled by a Linux workstation, which is connected via a high-speed network interface.

 The current software platform is 12xM4 (2/10/2010).

+The BIAC has installed two Whisperroom sound-attenuating chambers (http://www.whisperroom.com/). These rooms are equipped with networked computers and 8 channel button boxes, identical to those used at the scanner. They are ideal for testing experimental paradigms and conducting behavioral studies.  As they are located in close proximity to our MRI scanners, they are also often used for pre-scan training and post-scan testing.
