Cardiology
Quantify cardiac function and structure non-invasively and in real-time!
Your Best Tool For Preclinical Cardiovascular Imaging
Rapid, Repeatable and Well-Established; Ultra High Frequency ultrasound, using the Vevo Imaging Systems, will have an incredible impact on cardiovascular research in your animal models.
Perform reliable echocardiograms for translational cardiovascular research in small animals in vivo with resolution down to 30 microns. Vevo ultrasound imaging platforms provide the best temporal and spatial resolution compared to MRI, conventional ultrasound and CT.
With the Vevo Imaging Systems you can:
- Perform cardiovascular phenotyping for cardiac structure and function
- Image the heart in 4D!
- Quantify diastolic dysfunction
- Evaluate cardiac strain (synchrony and deformation globally or regionally)
- Perform image-guided cardiac injections
- Monitor full animal physiology while imaging: body temperature, ECG and respiratory rate throughout the imaging session.
- Ideal for stress echo and cardiotoxicity studies.
- Assess myocardial oxygen saturation

Left Ventricular measurements taken from a B-Mode parasternal long axis image.

Mitral flow visualized from an apical view of the mouse left ventricle to assess diastolic function.

B-Mode ultrasound with myocardial oxygen saturation acquired using photoacoustics (PA EKV Mode), from a parasternal long axis view of the mouse left ventricle.
Use Vevo Ultrasound to Image any Cardiac Disease Model, Including:
- Myocardial Infarction
- Cardiotoxicity
- Valvular Disease
- Cardiac Hypertrophy
- Cardiomyopathy
