ParaVision 360

Focusing on consistent quantification, ParaVision 360 makes scanning even more intuitive, while maintaining the full flexibility that Bruker users praise. The enlarged MRI sequence portfolio, which is exclusive to Bruker, and the powerful image data evaluation functions lead to maximum proficiency in scanning and analysis, while the simplicity and uniformity across the range of instrumentation allows operators to put their focus on their research.

MRI Highlights of the newest version include

• An acceleration suite including
  - Simultaneous Multi-Slice (SMS) imaging in EPI and FLASH for higher temporal resolution and more slices with less duty cycle
  - Compress Sensing for image acquisition at a fraction of the original acquisition time
  - Partial Fourier (shortened echo train) with homodyne reconstruction for higher resolution
  - 3D GRAPPA with CAIPIRINHA for significantly reduced measurement time of High quality (isotropic) 3D data
