Imaging techniques for small animal models of pulmonary disease: MR microscopy.
In vivo magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) of the small animal lung has become a valuable research tool, especially for preclinical studies. MRM offers a noninvasive and nondestructive tool for imaging small animals longitudinally and at high spatial resolution. We summarize some of the technical and biologic problems and solutions associated with imaging the small animal lung and describe sev...
متن کاملIn vivo respiratory-gated micro-CT imaging in small-animal oncology models.
Micro-computed tomography(micro-CT) is becoming an accepted research tool for the noninvasive examination of laboratory animals such as mice and rats, but to date, in vivo scanning has largely been limited to the evaluation of skeletal tissues. We use a commercially available micro-CT device to perform respiratory gated in vivo acquisitions suitable for thoracic imaging. The instrument is descr...
متن کاملDevelopment of Ultrafast Laser-based Micro-ct System for Small Animal Imaging
We investigated performance of ultrafast (30 fs –200 fs) laser-based x-ray source as an alternative to a microfocal x-ray tube used in micro-CT systems. A number of solid targets including Ge, Mo, Rh, Ag, Sn, Ba, La, Nd with matching filters was used. We optimized conditions for x-rays generation, measured x-ray spectra and obtained images of small animals using various characteristic x-ray lin...
متن کاملDesign 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 کاملCone Beam Micro-CT System for Small Animal Imaging and Performance Evaluation
A prototype cone-beam micro-CT system for small animal imaging has been developed by our group recently, which consists of a microfocus X-ray source, a three-dimensional programmable stage with object holder, and a flat-panel X-ray detector. It has a large field of view (FOV), which can acquire the whole body imaging of a normal-size mouse in a single scan which usually takes about several minu...
