COMMERCIAL SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING COULD AID DISEASE DETECTION

Authors: Mark Little ABSTRACT The development of anticancer metastatic therapies for human clinical trials requires meticulous evaluation of efficacy and optimization of small animal test models in preclinical experimentation. Critical information on morphology and the molecular microenvironment of tumors is currently obtained and monitored using noninvasive, in vivo imaging methods. Detection of individual, small tumors […]

A PRECLINICAL SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING PLATFORM COMBINING MULTI-ANGLE PHOTOACOUSTIC AND FLUORESCENCE PROJECTIONS INTO CO-REGISTERED 3D MAPS

Authors: Weylan Thompson1, Anthony Yu2,3, Diego S. Dumani2,3,4, Jason Cook5, Mark A. Anastasio6, Stanislav Y. Emelianov2,3, Sergey A. Ermilov1 ABSTRACT We present the results on development of the 3D imaging platform combining photoacoustic tomography and fluorescence (PAFT) for preclinical and biological research. This combined multimodal imaging instrument addresses known deficiencies in sensitivity, spatial resolution, and […]
