MRI System Overview
2.7 RF Coils
All RF Coils are pre-matched to a typical rat and mouse loading. The tune range of these
coils is limited to typical in-vivo applications of rats and mice.
The center of the bed mounted head coils is always attached to the magnetic center when
inserting the animal holder to the “0” position.
