CD BioSciences' animal imaging technology platform has multiple state-of-the-art instruments to study cardiovascular function, skeletal morphology, metabolism, and more by performing ultrasound and computed tomography imaging on live animals. Our MCT6 Scanner-based animal imaging service is the right choice for you.
The MCT6 scanner performs phase-contrast micro-CT imaging in addition to conventional micro-CT. Phase-contrast micro-CT imaging uses a lens-coupling system, where a Csl (Tb) crystal plate converts the detected X-rays to light and this optical image is projected by a lens onto the CCD array. This design enables a variable field of view (FOV) by adjusting the magnification factor to generate 3D images of various small objects, for example, from 20 µm down to 5 µm pixels.
The MCT6 scanner has a high-precision translation and rotation stage and an energy integrating detector, along with a relatively high-power X-ray source, which produce selectable primary emission peaks at approximately 8 keV, 17 keV or 22 keV (with copper, molybdenum or silver anodes and their corresponding complementary metal foil filters). A fourth tube with a tungsten anode and hafnium foil filter provides a somewhat broader spectrum with a mean energy around 40 keV.
If you need to perform imaging studies on animals such as mice, please contact us directly for details.
