Super Parallel MR Microscope

The super-paralell MR microscope is a unique MR microscope which can simultaneously acquire multiple MR microscopic images. This system was invented at University of Tsukuba and developed at Magnetic Resonance Imaging Laboratory at University of Tsukuba.

The first super-parallel MR microscope was implemented on a 1.5 T clinical MRI scanner operated at University Hospital of Tsukuba University.

The second super-parallel MR microscope was implemented on a 2.34 T superconducting magnet which had been used for animal study (Bruker Biospec). This system was used in this project.
