Design of Small Animal Computed Tomography Imaging for in vitro and in vivo Studies
Introduction: Mini Computed Tomography (mini-CT) was suggested in biomedical research to investigate tissues and small animals. We present designed and built a mini x-ray computed tomography (mini-CT) for small animals as well as industrial component imaging. Materials and Methods: The system used in this study includes a X-ray tube 20kV to 160kV and a flat pa...
متن کاملSmall animal PET imaging.
Positron emission tomography (PET) is well established as an important research and clinical molecular imaging modality. Although the size differences between humans and rodents create formidable challenges for the application of PET imaging in small animals, advances in technology over the past several years have enabled the translation of this imaging modality to preclinical applications. In ...
متن کاملThe anaesthetist's role in the setting up of an intraoperative MR imaging facility.
The clinical and economic advantages of intraoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for neurosurgery are apparent. Hence, more medical institutions are setting up such services. Establishing such a service can be daunting because of the cost and specifications, its highly technical nature and many safety considerations. The anaesthetists have an integral part to play during this process beca...
متن کاملStatic Coil Design Considerations for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging
One of the main challenges in developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems is to create a static coil that needs to generate magnetic field density along with the characteristics of optimal homogeneity and magnitude size. To do this, two N42 Block PMs are used and the iron core is designed and optimized in accordance with the dimensions of PM pieces using ANSYS Maxwell software. Then, al...
متن کاملA New Method for On-Farm Euthanasia with Animal Welfare Considerations
Objective: Euthanasia of animals is a highly stressful situation for veterinarians and may be source of ethical dilemmas; also, it is very difficult to decide “which technique is more appropriate for the given situation”? The aim of this study was to describe a new humane method for on-farm euthanasia. Design: Pilot clinical trial. Animals: thirteen animals including three horses, six sheep ...
