Two weeks ago we were covering in DOTmed.com's news section information about the 9.4 Tesla MRI with a 20 cm bore from Bruker BioSpin -- and now we bring you news of the new 11.7 Tesla Ultra Shielded Refrigerated (USR) MRI system from the same company!

Bruker BioSpin MRI has extended its well known BioSpec® series with an 11.7 T Ultra Shielded Refrigerated (USR) system. This is a new milestone in routine MRI because for the first time an actively shielded magnet is available with a horizontal MRI system at this high field strength.

BioSpec 117/16 USR properties:
