An integrated quad-modality molecular imaging system for small animals.
UNLABELLED We developed a novel integrated quad-modality system that included 3 molecular imaging methods (PET, SPECT, and fluorescence molecular imaging [FMI]) and 1 anatomic imaging modality (CT). This system could study various biologic processes in the same animal using multiple molecular tracers. In addition to the technology development, we also discussed the optimization strategy of the ...
متن کاملCT imaging in small animals
In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the availability of cross-sectional imaging techniques in veterinary medicine. CT is now readily accessible in many veterinary universities and referral institutions and is gaining acceptance for the investigation of many diseases. The last 10 years have seen a significant increase in CT related clinical research and various comparative studie...
متن کاملVisible Light Imaging of Small Animals
A visible light imaging system constructed from commercially available products is described. The utility of this detector system in the context of Bioluminescent and Fluorescent imaging is assessed through studies of the effects of temperature on CCD performance, expression of green fluorescent protein in Xenapous frog embryos, attenuation of light by biological tissue, and the overall perform...
متن کاملOptical tomographic imaging of small animals.
Diffuse optical tomography is emerging as a viable new biomedical imaging modality. Using visible and near-infrared light this technique can probe the absorption and scattering properties of biological tissues. The main applications are currently in brain, breast, limb and joint imaging; however, optical tomographic imaging of small animals is attracting increasing attention. This interest is f...
متن کاملImaging the Gastrointestinal Tract of Small Animals.
Animal models of human diseases are increasingly available and are invaluable for studies of organ pathophysiology. Megacolon, abnormal dilatation of the colon not caused by mechanical obstruction, involves the destruction of the autonomic nervous system innervating the colon. Animal models of megacolon include mouse models of Chagas disease and Hirschprung's disease. Small animal imaging has b...
