The NOVA 7T-9.4T preclinical MRI system uses the world leading-edge magnet and console technologies configured to meet individual requirements and demands in preclinical studies. It employs the superconducting shims to precisely correct for several orders of field inhomogeneity and obtain superior image quality. The usage of active-shielding technology largely reduces stray field in a small footprint size and hence, minimizes the potential hazards to the surrounding environment.
