1. Cardiovascular- enables real time imaging and analysis of physiological function of the heart chambers and associated major vessels and the ability to monitor morphological changes during heart development and pathology.
2. Cancer biology- enables 2D and 3D tracking of the shape and size of subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor growth in longitudinal studies of the same animal during therapeutic treatment. Software allows volumetric analysis of tumor size and tracking of tumor vasculature and blood flow.
3. Neurobiology- enables real time monitoring of embryonic or neonatal brain development prior to ossification of the skull, cell lineage studies, identification of progressive neural degenerative diseases, and visualization of image guided needle injections and extractions.
4. Developmental biology- longitudinal and dimensional assessment of the same animal from early in development through adulthood, analysis of timed pregnant animals for developmental stage.
The VEVO 3100 is an ultra-high frequency ultrasound imaging system for acquisition of longitudinal in vivo anatomical, functional, physiological and molecular data simultaneously in real time at a resolution of 30 mm. Both mouse and rat platforms designed to maintain body temperature during anesthesia and a compact isoflurane anesthesiology system with an oxygen regulator and flow meter are available.
If you need to perform imaging studies on animals such as mice, please contact us directly for details.
