Momentum CT
Magnetic Insight’s Momentum CT is a self-shielded pre-clinical MPI imager with integrated X-ray/CT. The imaging system utilizes a high-field gradient main magnet and proprietary x-space image reconstruction to produce the world’s highest sensitivity and resolution MPI images. The system’s intuitive workflow and robust reconstruction reliably produce high-quality images and do not require a dedicated operator.
The Momentum CT also includes an optional x-ray/CT for automated anatomical co-registration with MPI images. The integrated CT enables:
- Automatically co-registered MPI + X-ray/CT workflow
- Fast, low dose X-ray/CT images
- Quantitative cell tracking with anatomical context
