The facility is equipped with a state of the art Inveon Multimodality (MM) CT from Siemens, which has a resolution of up to 30 microns. The high resolution of the CT allows various applications for orthopedics, cardiology, oncology and others. The Inveon PET and CT are installed in tandem and can be used to carry out PET/CT imaging.
Contrast MicroCT imaging of the Spleen: A. No contrast agent injected; B. EXIA 160-XL was injected i.v. 30 min prior to microCT imaging of abdomen. Spleen was clearly identified; C. Time course of CT contrast in the spleen.
Mouse CT Scans Lung Tumors. Representative CT scans of (A) control and (B) NNK-treated AJ mice, showing lung tumors (arrows) 10 months after NNK treatment. (C) Time-course changes of the volumes of lung tumor growth in the NNK-treated AJ mice (data are mean ± SD, p <0.05 for the different age groups). Baseline measures prior to NNK treatment indicate lung regions in the same animals were taken based on the contrast and may not necessarily reflect tumors
Bone MicroCT Images of Paget disease mice models: (A-B) micro CT images showing sclerotic lesions at anterior tibia and posterior femur shown by white arrows in knock-in mice.
