MRI:
MRI was carried out using a Bruker Avance III 300 MHz wide-bore NMR (8.9 cm) with ParaVision 5.1 software, used for acquisition and reconstruction. The probe used is the Bruker Micro 2.5 MICWB40-1H 040/025 quadrature transmission radio frequency coils that can generate a gradient strength up to 1.5 T/m at 60 A.
