There are many neuroimaging techniques for preclinical studies, however these can suffer from limitations in resolution, insufficient depth, the use of ionizing radiation or expense.  High frequency ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging circumvents these limitations by offering a non-invasive, real-time high resolution technique which is capable of assessing many neurologically relevant parameters in 2D and 3D such as:

 

• Blood flow
• Perfusion
• Oxygen saturation
• Total Hemoglobin
• Contrast agents (dyes, nanoparticles)

In addition, the Vevo BRAIN stereotactic frame and neuroanatomical atlas facilitates mouse brain imaging for increased ease-of-use and reproducibility.
