Introduction to Technological and Multimodal Advances in Preclinical PET Imaging
11 Dec 2017This application note provides an introduction to preclinical PET imaging, and the benefits associated with it. Preclinical PET imaging produces quantitative, spatially and temporally indexed information on normal and diseased tissues. Importantly, because of the non-invasive nature of the technique, imaging allows longitudinal (serial) study of animal models of human disease. Not only does this minimize the number of experimental animals required, it also gives results in real time, reducing the need for expensive and labor intensive histology.

In Vivo Imaging Systems<i>In vivo</i> imaging systems, including pre-clinical imaging systems and medical imaging systems are used to non-invasively visualize and capture images of live animals and plants. Monitor the natural processes or diseases of your subjects using small-animal pre-clinical imaging systems, including single photon positron emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (micro-CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, ultrasound, fluorescence and bioluminescence imagers. Multimodal systems and software solutions are also available for correlative analysis of organ, tissue, cell, or molecular-level processes.

The research is conducted inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defence establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. It includes pure research such as genetics, developmental biology, behavioral studies, as well as applied research such as pharmaceutical testing in pre-clinical, before human, studies. Quantitative AnalysesQuantitative analyses involve measuring the amount or concentration of a substance in a sample using analytical techniques. These analyses are essential in fields like chemistry, biology, and environmental science. Explore quantitative analysis tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Small Animal ImagingSmall animal imaging is the visualization of living animals, most commonly mice and rats, for research purposes. This non-invasive technique is vital for long-term studies into drugs effects, as well as small animal anatomy and physiology.3D Imaging3D imaging technologies allow for the visualization and analysis of three-dimensional structures at high resolution. These systems are used in fields like molecular biology, material science, and medical diagnostics. 3D imaging can be applied to visualize cells, tissues, and organs, providing valuable insights into their structure and function.
