In Vivo Imaging Core
In Vivo Imaging group allows in vivo real time imaging of mice rats and guinea pigs utilizing different technologies. Sequential imaging is standard, allowing the test subject to be its own control.
These technologies include:
- Ultrasound imaging, through use of an In-Vevo 2100 Ultrasound machine, allowing 3d and color doppler images as needed.
- X-ray digital imaging, through use of an Summit digital x-ray unit model 50-520, allowing any soft tissue and bone imaging.
- Bioluminescent or fluorescent reporter imaging by use of Xenogen’s Ivis Lumina imaging, primarily used with tagged fluorescent antibody reporters to allow cellular location identification in-vivo.
These technologies are available with or without technical support, Individual operators must be adequately trained and show proficiency prior to use without the technical support. For individual costs please contact the Director (John J Hasenau) for current cost structures.
