Available sequences for NHP Neuroimaging, using the in-house developed Tac G2 Human RF Head Coil:
| Modality | Resolution |
|---|---|
| T1w MPRAGE | 0.4mm isotropic |
| T1w MP2RAGE | 0.4mm isotropic |
| 3D SWI QSM | 0.4mm isotropic |
| Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) | 1.25mm isotropic |
Other modalities can be optimized/implemented upon request, including SWI, T2w, e.g. SPACE and FLAIR, or MR Angiography, e.g. TOF.
The Tac G2 Head Coil is equipped with 60 Tx channels and 32 Rx channels. The head coil can be used with or without the available stereotaxic fixation system (click to view respective publication). See selected figures below from the this publication. The stereotax is designed to fit and mount precisely in our human head coil systems, with the stereotax just smaller than a human head, this design uses the maximum possible volume of the coil, allowing for fixation of larger NHPs. Species previously imaged include both old and new world monkeys, such as Rhesus, Macaque, Cynomolgus, Cebus and other medium to large NHPs.
