High-resolution ultrasound system for small animals for full cardio, M-mode, B-mode, and contrast mode for tracking and bursting microbubbles. The Vevo Imaging Station is an integrated rail system which is a bench mounted adjustable rail system custom designed for small animal handling, positioning and imaging optimization. The built-in sensor on the station records the animal ECG whereas the heated platform maintains the animal’s body temperature. The ultrasound holder allows steady and reproducible positioning for the ultrasound probe for better imaging. It allows for quick set-up, alignment and adjustment of the ultrasound probe, anesthetized mouse/rat and if required the injection system (for image-guided injection applications). The heated table allows the researcher to secure the mouse/rat quickly and ensure optimal comfort and maintenance of physiological parameters for the duration of the imaging session. Furthermore, key physiological parameters are captured from the rail system including temperature, respiration, ECG and heart rate. All these are integrated with the images and data captured in real-time in the Vevo application. In addition, the system allows hands-free 3D-mode imaging.
