Small animal ultrasound imaging systemIt is an important research tool in the fields of clinical medicine and basic medicine. Its core principle is to use high-frequency ultrasound (up to 70MHz) to scan the tissues inside small animals, generate high-resolution images by receiving reflected echo signals, with an axial resolution of up to 30 microns and a frame rate of over 1000 frames per second, which can capture dynamic physiological processes in real time.
Small animal ultrasound imaging systemTypical application scenarios:
Cardiovascular disease research
Real time monitoring of cardiac elasticity, blood flow velocity, and valve function to evaluate the cardiac health status of models such as myocardial infarction and heart failure.
For example, by tracking the flow of microbubbles in small blood vessels of the myocardium, the ability of the myocardium to perfuse oxygenated blood can be determined.
Tumor Biology Research
Quantify tumor volume changes, angiogenesis, and microvascular density to detect tumors early and predict the affected area.
The ULTRAMUS 9 LAB system can monitor changes in microvascular blood flow within tumors with high resolution and evaluate the effectiveness of cancer treatment.
Neuroscience research
Realize sciatic nerve bundle membrane imaging and precise mapping of cerebral blood flow to assist in the creation of stroke models and efficacy evaluation.
Traditional laser speckle can only identify surface microvessels, while ultrasound imaging can cover deep blood flow conditions.
Developmental Biology and Metabolic Research
Monitor the process of embryonic development and the microvascular lesions of metabolic diseases (such as diabetes foot complications).
For example, by observing the microvascular structure of the kidney through super-resolution ultrasound imaging, early diagnosis of microcirculatory changes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be made.
