Intended Use PET/MR
Bruker Sequential or Simultaneous PET/MR instruments are research instruments for combined Positron Emission Tomography (PET, 511keV γ-detection) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging or Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRI/MRS). The instruments are designed for in vivo investigations of laboratory animals and investigations of biological and non-biological samples.
The instruments are solely operated by trained users and under the control of the corresponding acquisition control and reconstruction software provided by Bruker.
The operation of MR instruments e.g. with strong magnetic fields and the use of radioactive tracers is strictly regulated by national laws of the country in which the instrument is operated. It is the responsibility of the system owner
- ▪
- to follow these regulations.
- ▪
- to assure that all users are well trained and familiar with all safety instructions before using the instrument.
- ▪
- to assure safe working conditions for staff and any persons who might interact with the imaging device or with the regulated lab environment.
All imaging experiments with laboratory animals must comply with the country-specific acts and regulations.
