PHYWE Compact magnetic resonance tomograph (MRT)

Function and Applications

Fully functional Magnetic Resonance Tomograph (MRT) for teaching purposes, covering all aspects from the basic principles of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to the high-resolution 2D and 3D MR imaging (MRI). It provides a comprehensive education experience  by training with clinically relevant measuring procedures, high resolution MR imaging (2D, 3D), live visualisation of data, realtime control of experimental parameters, determination of Larmor frequency,   T1/T2 measurements, all MR parameters accessible, measurement of a multitude of samples with a diameter of up to one centimeter, software-driven didactical approach and suitable for a wide range of experiments.
