    The CompuFlow 1000 MR is a physiological flow pump system designed to generate accurate and repeatable pulsatile and constant volume flow waveforms for MRI applications. It includes pre-programmed waveforms like carotid and femoral, as well as the ability to create custom waveforms. The pump unit can be placed inside the MRI scanner bore while the control unit is outside. It provides flows from 0.01 to 35 ml/s with ±3% accuracy and includes calibration certification. The system is useful for research applications requiring controllable pulsatile or constant flows like flow quantification and validation of imaging devices.
