NOVA uses the latest technology on its gradient coil development and the high-performance gradients can address the most challenging applications on animal studies. The features include the high duty cycle for faster imaging, stronger gradient strength for higher image resolution, and superior gradient linearity for less distortion. The good performance of room-temperature shims further corrects the field inhomogeneity on the sample region ensuring high-quality images at high field magnet. 

We provide the complete range of RF coils for different purposes of image scans from volume coils, surface coils, phase-arrayed coils, dual-tuned coils, to high-temperature superconducting coils which can be designed custom-made as transmit or receiver modes and available for various nucleus (1H, 31P, 13C, 23Na, 19F, etc.). High-temperature superconducting coil is cooled with liquid nitrogen (77K) and the SNR is increased by a factor of 2~5 compared with an equivalent copper coil. All RF coils have the highest level of RF homogeneity and stability, which is vital to effective imaging, while maintaining excellent signal-to-noise ratio. 

NOVA has a whole range of MRI pulse sequences which are constantly updated and enhanced. Those sequences are fully parameterized and optimized for small rodents in vivo for efficient and reliable imaging. MRI accessories specially designed for animal imaging, like animal positions system, are also provided.
