Aortic Remodeling and Thrombus Deposition in Murine Aneurysms and Dissections

This is a recording of NAVBO's first Technology Workshop featuring the Vevo F2 from FUJIFILM VisualSonics, Inc.

Aortic Remodeling and Thrombus Deposition in Murine Aneurysms and Dissections

  • Murine models can be used to examine the pathophysiology of aortic diseases, including aortic aneurysms and dissections
  • The Vevo high frequency ultrasound systems can be used to collect 4-dimensional images of murine aortic aneurysms and dissections noninvasively
  • Histology can be used to quantify changes in extracellular matrix composition of murine arteries
  • Scanning electron microscopy can be used to evaluate red blood cell morphology and fibrin deposition in constantly remodeling thrombus

Presenter: Cortland Johns, PhD Candidate
Physician-Engineer Trainee, Purdue University, Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Martin C. Jischke Hall of Biomedical Engineering.

Past Webinars

April 2014: Imaging Angiogenesis - Targeting the Vasculature in Cancer

This webinar is Part 2 of the Webinar hosted by Dr. Walker III. Dr. Walker continues the discussion on a novel 3-dimensional micro-ultrasound approach to automated measurement of carotid arterial plaque volume as a biomarker for experimental atherosclerosis.

November 2014: Imaging Ischmeia - Diabetes and Cancer

Dr. Matthew Walker III hosts this webinar titled Atherosclerosis and its Biomarkers - an Ultrasound Perspective.

September 2016: Great Xpectations - Sneak peek at the Vevo LAZR-X

Take a look at the NEW Vevo LAZR-X Photoacoustic Imaging System (featured at WMIC - World Molecular Imaging Congress in September). Presented by Drew Heinmiller, Product Manager, Fujifilm VisualSonics. 

February 2015: Anything the Heart Desires

This webinar is hosted by Mathew Platt, B.Sc from Dr. Jeremy Simpson's laboratory, University of Guelph. An improved non-invasive method for evaluating post mycoardial infarction cardiac output in a murine model.

March 2015: Kidney and Its Pathologies: Ultrasound imaging of the Kidney and Lower Urinary tract in developmental & disease

Dr. Carlton Bates hosts this webinar titled Ultrasound Imaging of the Kidney and Lower Urinary Tract in Development of Disease. He covers imaging to detect vesicoureteral reflux in live mice, porgressive bladder distension and hydronephrosis and conditional deletion of Fgfr2 in bladder mesenchyme.

April 2015: How to Measure Cardiac Wall Strain?

Presented by Stephen Buttars, MSc, Product Manager at FUJIFILM VisualSonics. This webinar showcases how to measure cardiac wall strain using Vevo Strain. Stephen shares relevance of strain and strain rate measures, conventional functional measures vs. vevo strain analysis, recent publications and software updates.

May 2015: Improve Decision Making for Drug Discovery

Preclinical in vivo studies is a critical step in drug development. In vivo imaging in such studies can benefit drug development with rapid and predictive assays to assess drug toxicity and efficacy to reduce clinical attrition rates. High frequency ultrasound imaging will be addressed in this regard by the panel of speakers.

June 2015: Hearing in Color: Visualizing & Quantifying Molecular Markers with Photoacoustic Imaging

Presented by Andrew Heinmiller, Product Manager - Photoacoustics, FUJIFILM VisualSonics Inc. In this webinar, learn about visualizing and quantifying molecular markers with photoacoustics.

July 2015: Ultrasound Evaluation of Fibrosis In Vivo

Presented by Terri Swanson, the leader in pre-clinical ultrasound imaging at Pfizer Worldwide Research and Theresa Tuthill, the Head of Cardiovascular, Metabolic, and Musculoskeletal Imaging for the Clinical and Translational Imaging group at Pfizer.

September 2015: Multimodal Imaging

Dieter Fuchs and Andrew Heinmiller discuss Multimodality in Imaging. This webinar was originally recorded on September 22, 2015.

October 2015: Clinically Translatable Cancer Research with Photoacoustic Imaging

In this webinar, Dr. Srivallesha Mallidi will discuss the breadth of drug discovery research from designing cancer therapeutics to testing its efficacy for clinical utility. Specifically, she will share her success with ultrasound guided photoacoustic imaging to address this breadth in drug discovery research.

July 2016 Webinar: Exploring New Biomarkers in High Frequency Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Imaging

Dr. John Eisenbrey and Maria Stanczak from Thomas Jefferson University present their exciting neurobiology research using ultra high frequency ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging.
