Figure 3

A 250 g rat prepared for imaging in a 2 T system using a 6 cm diameter bird cage coil. The animal is lying on a Plexiglas cradle and is anesthetized with isoflurane delivered by mechanical ventilation. The hoses to the left are for ventilation gases and the black cables carry signals from ECG electrodes on the foot pads, airway pressure transducer on the breathing valve attached to the endotracheal tube, and body temperature from a thermistor in the rectum. The gray cable connects the coil to the MR scanner.
