A High-resolution, Multi-modal Solution for Robust Evaluation of Small Animal Pancreatic Tumor Models

Vevo for Pancreatic Cancer

From model generation with image-guided injection to characterization of the tumor micro-environment.

Vevo ultra-high frequency ultrasound and photoacoustic technology enables you to get a complete understanding of the anatomy and physiology in your specific tumor models and monitor response to treatment longitudinally.

With Vevo Imaging Systems you can:

Non-invasively inject and generate orthotopic models with precision
Quickly and accurately measure tumor size
Monitor perfusion kinetics with contrast enhanced ultrasound
Characterize tumor micro and macro vasculature in response to treatment
Assess intratumoral hypoxia
Perform targeted measurements of nanomedicines or theranostic agents

Healthy Pancreas

Anatomical location of the healthy mouse pancreas with ultrasound. The head of the pancreas is seen on the left and the tail of the pancreas can be visualized on the right.

Image-guided Needle Injection

Example of image guided injection into the tail of the mouse pancreas. This technique can be used to deliver cancer cells to develop a model, as a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
