Featured R&D 100 Award Winner: MRS 7000 Series Preclinical MRI System

By R&D Magazine | March 13, 2017

The MRS 7000 Series is the world’s first 7.0T cryogen-free preclinical MRI imaging system combined with PET and/or SPECT. MR Solution’s cryogen-free 7T preclinical MRI imaging system, which won a 2016 R&D 100 award, provides superior soft tissue contrast and molecular imaging capability.

The MRS-7000 is a very compact benchtop system offering rampable field strengths of 0.1T to 7.0T. It can be wheeled in to Class III or IV laboratories rather than having any special facilities built for it. MR Solutions’ innovation has eliminated the requirement for the expensive and cumbersome liquid helium jacket and quench provision with a revolutionary magnet design incorporating superconducting magnet coils, which are cooled by direct conduction by a readily available, off-the-shelf cryocooler fridge unit.

Each year for more than 50 years, R&D Magazine has honored the 100 best innovations in research and development. We are currently accepting applications for the 2017 R&D 100 Awards. Innovators with an exceptional product developed between January 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017 should apply. Submissions close April 14, 2017
