Implant

Caption

(Left) Classical magnetic resonance imaging of a rat (¹H MRI), a transverse section at approximately the waist. The red arrow points to the implantation site of the new (fluorinated) implant; the white arrow points to the implantation site of the older type of implant. (Middle) Imaging of the same part of a rat but with the fluorine imaging method (¹⁹F MRI), the shape of the new implant is clearly visible in the image but the older type is not. (Right) Combining the ¹H MRI image and the ¹⁹F MRI image shows the size and shape of the implant and its anatomical location.
