MRI Platform

The platform provides biodistribution studies and/or the analysis and quantification of spectra and MRI images.

– Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) uses the signal of the protons of water molecules. Thus, access to quantitative anatomical information is possible which inquires about the morphology and the physiology of tissues.

– Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) can detect signals endogenous molecules whose concentrations are much lower than that of water. We then access to information about the metabolism under physiologicla or pathophysiological conditions.

Services platform is an open access to academic or non-academic structures, private or public laboratories. It offers imaging sequences (angiography morphological, diffusion…) and 1D or 2D spectroscopy (1H, 13C-filtered 1H) suitables for in vivo longitudinal studies on small animals (rabbit, rat, mouse, Drosophila) of pathologies developpment or therapeutic monitoring. It also provides analyses and quantification of in vivo MR spectra and images. An engineer is available to optimize and perform the experiments. Potential users can follow a rapid formation proposed in the team or can acquire their own images and their spectra if independent on imaging spectrometers.
