Ultrasound imaging

Ultrasound imaging offers both high temporal and spatial resolution making it possible to visualize anatomical structures and hemodynamic functions longitudinally and non-invasively in live animals.

More information

Ultrasound imaging

Small animal ultrasound imaging is based on detecting ultrasound echoes reflected from tissues with different sound properties in the animal body, making it possible to generate images of these tissues. 

The Vevo 2100 system provides high-resolution imaging down to 30 microns and the ability to export derived statistical data for analysis. Together with the usual ultrasound applications found on scanners for use on humans the scanner comes with a dedicated small animal handling platform for stabilisation and monitoring of animals during examination. Visualsonics also offer suggested examination protocols with the equipement.
