Ultrasound

Functionality
The laboratory is equipped with a VisualSonics Vevo 2100 small animal ultrasound system. This is a high-resolution instrument (30 microns) that can also image at high speed (up to 1000 frames per second). It is capable of imaging in 3D mode as well as M mode, and can also provide pulsed wave Doppler imaging. The device is equipped with three transducers (24, 38 and 55 MHz). The table is heated and includes sensor pads for monitoring the animal during examination. The system is routinely used for cardiac imaging in small animals, and can also be used for tumor vascular imaging with microbubbles.
