Our standard way of triggering experiments is implemented through the fiber optic trigger pulses sent from the MRI scanner in certain pulse sequences (eg. BOLD EPI). The fiber optic is typically connected to the fORP interface and the trigger pulse is converted to various formats. The formats available are: TTL and analog (36 pin connector); USB (small connector). Serial, parallel and USB cables are available.

Medoc - The Medoc Thermal Stimulator Pathway 95 utilizes a thermode (either CHEPS or ATS available) placed on the subject's skin, which can either heat or cool the skin as required. The thermal stimulation can become painful if desired, but will not damage (i.e.: burn) the skin. A response button can be used outside the MRI to tailor the stimulus to the individual subject's tolerance before entering the MRI. Researchers can program the Pathway to deliver virtually any set of thermal stimuli (subject to safety limitiations) with rapid rise times available (up to 10°C/s).

Luxtron m3300 Biomedical Lab Kit for temperature sensing. The m3300 Biomed Lab Kit is a fiber optic thermometry system designed for such demanding environments, featuring patented fiber optic probes that use the fluorescence of phosphors at their tips to sense temperatures based on optical signals. Because they are non-metallic, and electrically non-conductive, they are immune to electromagnetic interference and can measure temperatures accurately in environments where conventional electrical sensors are ineffective or useless.

The ACR MRI Phantom is an 8" (203.2 mm) diameter cylinder, 6.82" (173.40 mm) tall with various fixtures inside, including a grid, cylinders, and other points of interest. Marked with reference points for nose and chin. The Phantom is approved by the American College of Radiology and is compatible with the ACR Phantom Cradles.

The NEMA IEC Body Phantom Set™ consists of a body phantom, a lung insert and an insert with six spheres with various sizes. It is designed in accordance with the recommendations by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and modified by the National Electrical manufacturers Association (NEMA). It is recommended for use in the evaluation of reconstructed image quality in whole body PET imaging.

The ADNI (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative) Magphan® phantom is used for detailed measurements of volume distortion in MR scanners.The Magphan® Quantitative Imaging Phantom contains a total of 165 spheres made from polycarbonate plastic. These spheres are filled with copper sulfate and water solutions. The spheres are mounted on a series of polycarbonate plates and posts to maintain their fixed positions inside the phantom. The phantom includes one 6cm diameter sphere, four 3cm diameter spheres, two 1.5cm diameter spheres and one hundred fifty-eight 1cm spheres. Measurements of the phantom are compared with the known positions of the spheres to give an accurate measurement of the distortion of the scanner.

The PET Torso Phantom consists of a fillable body phantom, two large hollow cylindrical chambers and one smaller hollow cylindrical chamber

The NEMA Scatter Phantom complies with NEMA 2012 Standard and is ideal for measuring PET camera sensitivity
