Small Animal Ventilator for Hyperpolarized Helium MRI Studies
Project Overview
The project requires designing an MRI-compatible small animal ventilator using a stepper-motor system for controlled gas delivery. The design will deliver small volumes of an oxygen and hyperpolarized helium mix in a study using hyperpolarized helium Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
