Fig. 4. MRI scan of dolphin WEN with a 0.5 T AIRIS II open scanner. The animal rests on a thin rubber pad. The forward half of the body rests on the scanner while the rear body rests on a special table constructed for dolphin scans. Attendants stabilize the animal and keep it wet while the trainer is stationed in front of the dolphin. A standard human back coil is placed around the dolphin's head immediately behind the blowhole to cover the area of the brain.
