Small animal ultrasound imaging system VEVO

Small animal ultrasound imaging system VEVO

Small animal ultrasound imaging system VEVO This instrument is suitable for model animals such as rats, mice, zebrafish, etc., and is applied in the study of various animal models of diseases such as cardiovascular models and tumor models. It can image the structure and function of various organs such as the heart, liver, abdominal organs, and joints, and provide real-time synchronized physiological information of small animals (electrocardiogram, blood pressure, body temperature, respiration, etc.), achieving ultra-high resolution imaging of cardiovascular, tumor, nerve, liver, pancreas, and other abdominal organs.

Characteristics of high-frequency ultrasound imaging technology for small animals(Mainly providing structural information, which can be extended to molecular imaging to obtain some functional information):

•Imaging Fundamentals: Ultrasound. Ultrasound propagates in a straight line in a medium and has good directionality, which is the basis for detecting biological organs using ultrasound. When ultrasound undergoes reflection, refraction, scattering, attenuation, etc. during propagation, the reflected ultrasound is called echo. Detecting this echo and converting it into an image is called ultrasound image

•Real time, dynamic imaging: up to 10000fps, providing unparalleled time resolution

•High resolution imaging: The image resolution can reach up to 30um, which is an accuracy that clinical ultrasound probes cannot match

•Safe imaging technology:

For the human body: no nuclear radiation, no X-ray radiation, no need for protection, an imaging method acceptable to pregnant women

For small animals: non-invasive imaging, long-term imaging of the same experimental animal under controlled conditions, obtaining reliable, quantifiable, and reproducible data

•Wide imaging range: except for difficulties in imaging normal lungs, other parts are generally acceptable, and the best imaging is soft tissue organs such as heart, kidney, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen, as well as diseased tissues such as tumors

•Compared to other imaging technologies, it is easier to operate and the machine itself is also easier to maintain

New design concept, compatible with high-quality imaging and ease of use

Vevo F2The Fujifilm VisualSonics R&D team broke the design inertia of traditional imaging platforms by integrating high-frequency and low-frequency ultrasound imaging into the same system, achieving a machine that meets the imaging needs of small to large animals, truly realizing higher application value for users.
