The Diagnostic Potential of MultiNuclear MRI

Multi-nuclear MRI is currently used primarily in research applications rather than diagnostics because of the high cost of upgrading existing MRI scanners to have multinuclear capabilities. However, the potential of utilizing alternative contrast agents provides a range of possibilities for the functional imaging of the anatomies that are poorly viewed in a 1H MRI system.

 

Rather than implementing a costly and time-consuming upgrade to existing MRI systems, UBScan has developed a technology that converts existing frequencies through a transmit/receive MRI coil and converts multinuclear data into a standard histogram.

 

This cutting-edge MRI coil technology plugs directly into available ports and uses hardware frequency convertors without software or firmware updates to image multiple contrast agents simultaneously.
