DYNAMIC CONTRAST ENHANCED (Gaudolinium) IN KIDNEYS

 

Mouse is scanned in MRI and contrast agent injection occurs during image acquisition. Notice sudden enhancement of kidneys as contrast agent (Magnevist, Gd) arrives to the tissue.

DYNAMIC EYE MOVEMENT OF AWAKE RABBIT BY MRI

The movie shows real time MR images of an awake rabbit being scanned in the MRI. One can note the movement of the rapid movement of the eyes (NOTE: at a certain point Gd agent was injected through ear vein catether)
