The present disclosure discusses systems and methods for imaging tissue. The system can reduce the amount of vibrations that are transmitted from a magnetic resonance imaging device to a tissue sample. The system can include a stabilization platform with at least one vibration dampener coupled towards either end of the stabilization platform. A fluid reservoir is coupled to the stabilization platform and a resonator is coupled to the exterior of the fluid reservoir.

Systems and methods for MR microscopy analysis of resected tissue

A high-pass two-dimensional ladder network has been described for high-field MRI and credential applications. The next-to-highest eigenvalue of the network corresponds to a normal mode giving rise to Bfields with good spatial homogeneity above the resonator plane. Other eigenvalues may also be used for specific imaging applications. In its most basic form, the ladder network is a collection of inductively coupled resonators where each element of the array is represented by at least one conducting strip having a self-inductance L, joined by a capacitor C at one or more points along each resonator. In the strong coupling limit of the inductively coupled high-pass two-dimensional ladder network resonator array, the array produces a high-frequency resonant mode that can be used to generate the traditional quadrature Bfield used in magnetic resonance imaging, and in the limit of weak or zero coupling reduces to a phased array suitable for parallel imaging applications.
