Focusing on consistent quantification, ParaVision 360 makes scanning even more intuitive, while maintaining the full flexibility that Bruker users praise. The enlarged MRI sequence portfolio, which is exclusive to Bruker, and the powerful image data evaluation functions lead to maximum proficiency in scanning and analysis, while the simplicity and uniformity across the range of instrumentation allows operators to put their focus on their research.

ParaVision 360 V3.6 is now available

Highlights from the newest features of the 3.6 release:

AI Denoising

  • Non-generative denoising approach of complex data
  • Increased image quality
  • Higher throughput enabled via reduced scan times
  • Improved quantitative results and more precise fits
  • Full freedom to choose denoising level while maintaining original data

Increased Scan Protocols and Methods Portfolio

  • Fast cardiac T1 mapping with segmentation of the image acquisition and independent triggering of the inversion pulse and the data acquisition
  • Fast, T2-weighted 3D, isotropic in vivo RAREvfl protocols for an expanded range of instruments

Efficiently Designed Workflows

  • Improved workflow for PET/CT with revised logic for protocols and scan programs
  • Start scan time as default image decay correction in PET scans for higher accuracy

Improved PET/CT protocol and scan program workflows. Mouse and rat scan programs and protocol categories include region and application selection nomenclature intuitively consistent with PET/CT studies.

Highlights from previous versions of ParaVision 360

Cross-modality Highlights

  • Common terminology between instruments, common integrated multimodal workflows, and common image processing, viewing, and analysis tools and functionalities for optimal clarity
  • Automatic 3D image fusion
  • Drag and drop image processing
  • Data browser with simple search functions for accessing stored protocols and recorded data
  • Database and archiving and report creation

Highlights for MRI

  • Magnet status display in ParaVision and remote instrument monitoring option
  • Fast online decisions and real-time calculations on all channels
  • MRI pulse program display
  • Wobble control on magnet front touchscreen display²
  • SLASER single voxel spectroscopy that is robust against B1 inhomogeneities and provides less chemical shift displacement

²For instruments with Animal Transport System

Highlights for PET

  • Extensive reconstruction algorithms (e.g. MLEM, OSEM, MAP, FBP)
  • MRI or CT based attenuation corrections with automatic loading of animal cradle and MRI coil and individual calculation of subject
  • Wireless cardiac PET/MR imaging
  • Scatter, randoms, isotope decay, and dead-time corrections
  • Custom isotope profiles

Highlights for µCT

  • Static, multi-stage, dynamic imaging
  • Step & shoot or continuous
  • Ultrafast low dose protocols
  • Smoothing, beam hardening & ring corrections
  • Hounsfield scaling
