RK-50 Stereotactic Guided Focused Ultrasound System

The RK-50 is a stand alone, versatile, preclinical system that uses stereotactic targeting to deliver precise FUS exposures in the rodent brain and other target sites.

 
 

 

Key Features

 
 

 

  • Precise multi-point targeting

    3-axis positioning system ensures fast, accurate alignment

  • Custom Treatment planning

    Advanced software allows for monitoring and treatment planning based on rodent atlas

  • DICOM-based anatomical targeting

    Optional imaging attachment enables targeting based on MRI or PET/CT

  • Real-time acoustic feedback

    Control exposures based on stimulated acoustic emissions from circulating microbubbles using real-time acoustic feedback

  • Customizable Dose settings

    including multiple transducer frequencies (0.5, 1.2, 1.6 MHz) with harmonic capabilities for diverse applications, and continuous and pulsed exposures

  • Dual frames for mice and rats

    Dual species stereotactic frames support both mouse and rat studies

  • Easy installation, ongoing support

    Portable turnkey system with everything needed to start your focused ultrasound experiments right out of the box - with ongoing scientific and technical support included.

RK-300 MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound System

The RK-300 is capable of performing non-invasive hyperthermia, ablation and blood-brain barrier opening within a small bore preclinical imaging system.

Compatible with the full line of Bruker Biospec horizontal bore MRI systems.
