The Preclinical MRI lab is located in the Laboratory Animal Facility of the UU and UMCU and equipped with two state-of-the-art animal MR systems at 9.4 T (20-cm horizontal bore) and 7 T (30-cm horizontal bore). The latter has a Philips user interface that is identical to clinical scanners, enabling preclinical imaging with specific clinical protocols. In addition, a HD-CCD camera is available for in vivo optical imaging.
