Vevo Lab

Vevo Lab allows users to analyze their data at their own PC and offers advanced tools to measure and characterize indicators of cardiovascular disease progression.

Vevo Vasc

Vevo Vasc is a vascular strain analysis specifically for studying vascular diseases.  It provides both qualitative and quantitative tools to evaluate early signs of vascular disease.  It is particularly useful for the analysis of models with aneurysms, vascular grafts or atherosclerosis.

Vevo Strain

Vevo Strain allows early detection of the myocardial deformation that typically develops before detectable changes in ejection fraction.  This technology is especially useful for studies of myocardial infarction, diabetic cardiomyopathy, cardiac hypertrophy, and cardiomyopathy secondary to renal disease.

Accessories

An ECG monitor, contained within the animal warming pad, allows one to monitor heart rate, respiration, and body temperature. The Rail System allows for micro manipulation of the transducer, as well as the ability to perform 3D/4D imaging. An isoflurane vaporizer with an induction chamber allows appropriate delivery of anesthetic agent so as to maintain an appropriate heart rate throughout the ultrasound imaging session.
