Vevo LAZR-X Photoacoustic Imaging System;

The Vevo LAZR-X is an imaging platform for preclinical applications capable of acquiring in vivo anatomical, functional and molecular data. It combines ultra high frequency ultrasound with photoacoustic imaging (a new biomedical imaging modality based on the use of lasergenerated ultrasound) for high resolution images as well as software for analysis and quantification. This equipment will be used in the context of the study of (cardio)vascular diseases, genetics of the heart, heart valves and aortic dissection, kidney diseases and their effects on the heart and blood vessels, and for cancer research.
