A high-resolution and high-sensitivity hybrid small animal PET-CT system for combined molecular/functional and anatomical preclinical imaging in neurology, oncology and cardiology. KU Leuven
Molecular imaging allows non-invasive in vivo visualization, characterization and quantification of biological and pathophysiological processes that can be longitudinally monitored in specific (transgenic) animal models of human diseases in a physiological environment. The hybrid small animal PET-CT system will provide molecular information with high sensitivity and submillimeter resolution co-registered with anatomical information within one ...
Combining small animal molecular imaging with next generation neuromodulation to explore novel treatments for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. University of Antwerp
An optical imaging system for in vivo bioluminescent and fluorescent imaging in small laboratory animals. KU Leuven
Remote controlled miniaturized radiotracer injection device for dynamic PET imaging in free running small animals. University of Antwerp
Biomarker and therapy development through in vivo Molecular Imaging of small animals. University of Antwerp
Prototyping and validation of a system for unrestrained awake brain PET imaging of small laboratory animals. University of Antwerp
State-of-the-art ultrasound system for advanced imaging in horses and small animals Ghent University
The faculty of Veterinary Medicine tops the Shanghai ranking due to close collaboration between research groups and the animal clinic. The state-of-the-art ultrasound system will be used for 4D, intracardiac, vascular and contrast ultrasonography, which is essential for the research in 3 research groups: equine cardiology, medical imaging and small animal cardiology.
In vivo MR imaging of small laboratory animals. University of Antwerp
A basic whole-body bioluminescent and fluorescent in vivo imaging system for small laboratory animals Ghent University
With in vivo optical imaging the distribution and multiplication of viruses, bacteria, stem and tumor cells, as well as the action of genes, nanomedicines and DNA/RNA drugs can be investigated without the need to kill the experimental animals. By using this technique the number of experimental animals can be drastically reduced in preclinical oncological, pharmacological, immunological, virological and bacteriological research.
