Project Gallery: Ultra Compact MRI
Ultra compact MRI device for experiment and in-house development. In this intstance, we were using a 1.7T magnet made by Aster Enterprises out of Acton, MA. The magnet of this desktop unit measures 2x2x4 inches with a gap of 10mm.
Much of the work done for the development of the ultra compact MRI unit was done using this 1.0T Aster magnet. It measures 2x2x2 inches, again with a 10mm gap.
