Description
MR-compatible Small Rodent Air Heater System The MR-compatible, small rodent Heater System controls the temperature of small animals undergoing imaging procedures. Animal temperature is measured with either an MR-compatible thermister probe or a fiber optic temperature probe. SAII software continuously processes the temperature measurements and sends an optical control signal to the Heater Module. The rate of change of temperature is monitored and heater control is adjusted to minimize overshoot and generate a closed-loop control system. Mouse temperature variations of less than ±0.1 ºC can typically be obtained during MR examination
