MMPF Cradle for Brain Surface RF Coils
The cradle for Surface RF Coils consists of the cradle base and two inlays for mouse and rat (options), respectively. The cradle is typically to be used in combination with a local receive-only surface RF coil. This is for example the circularly polarized Mouse or Rat Brain Surface RF Coil, the Brain Array RF coil, or one of the receive-only loop surface RF coils.
For animal body temperature conditioning, the Warm Water Heating Covers (options) are recommended which are available in two sizes i.e. for mouse or rat.
Overview of the typical setup for brain imaging using a Brain Surface RF Coil. The cradle base allows to insert two different inlays: mouse or rat. Animal body temperature conditioning is typically performed using one of the Warm Water Heating Covers which are available in two sizes for mouse and rat (version rat shown in blue color at the top of the figure).
