VisualSonics is the leading developer of high-resolution in vivo micro imaging systems devised specifically for non-invasive small animal research. High-resolution imaging allows the small animal researcher to derive results in ways that were previously possible to imagine, but extremely difficult to achieve. The Vevo 770 enables in vivo assessment of anatomical structures and hemodynamic function in longitudinal studies of small animals. VisualSonics’ Vevo 770 offers spatial resolution down to 30 microns; in fact the highest resolution available in real-time today. And the system is non-invasive, which allows longitudinal study and reduces the number of mice required. VisualSonics technology provides scientific professionals with a simple method for efficiently view-ing extremely small physiological structures and for imaging living tissue and blood flow with near-microscopic resolution. The Vevo 770 has evolved from the outset as a tool designed to be utilized by researchers. Because the mouse is the preferred model for phenotypic study, genetic research and drug applications, the Vevo 770 has been developed specifically for mice. Researchers should note however, that the equipment and technology is readily transferable and adaptable to other small animal models such as the rat, chick . The Vevo 770 is able to deliver the small animal researcher_ > Non invasive, in vivo visualization of embryonic (E5.5) through to adult mice — in real-time. > Ability to perform longitudinal studies of disease progression and regression in individual subjects. > Image resolution of anatomical and physiological structures of down to 30 microns. > Ability to visualize image-guided needle injection and extraction. > Microcirculatory and cardiovascular blood flow assessment. > High throughput via user-friendly equipment and research-driven interface. > Open architecture allowing comprehensive measurement and annotations and offline data analysis.
