Physiological monitoring of pre-clinical specimens

      The Agilent Physiological Monitoring and Gating System is designed to meet the physiological needs for anesthetized specimens in the MR environment. Pre-clinical research is dependent upon a stable, controlled specimen environment. The system consists of data acquisition modules located near the sample in the imaging magnet bore and a control/gating module connected to a PC located near the operator console. The sophisticated design enables precision monitoring of relevant physiological parameters such as ECG, sample temperature, respiration, and blood pressure. Finely tuned sample temperature control via a feedback loop is possible and data capture and manipulation is carried out intuitively and efficiently. The individual monitoring and gating modules are not available separately.
