Maintaining and reporting ideal animal physiological parameters is not only critical to ensuring your animals’ health while under anesthesia, but can have a large impact on your data. Most cardiovascular reviewers request certain physiological parameters …

B-Mode is a two-dimensional ultrasound image display composed of bright dots representing the ultrasound echoes. The brightness of each dot is determined by the amplitude of the returned echo signal. This allows for visualization and quantification of …

M-mode examines a line of M otion over time. Using M-mode in echocardiography displays the movement of the myocardium allowing for accurate and real-time measurements of wall thickness, internal diameter, and heart rate. It is from these parameters that …

The Photoacoustic Effect explained:   1. LIGHT EMITTED: Nanosecond pulsed laser light is emitted causing illumination of the tissue. 2. LIGHT ABSORBED: The light is absorbed by chromophores causing thermoelastic expansion. 3. SOUND EMITTED: Soundwaves are …

Nonlinear Contrast Imaging is performed by intravenously injecting either target-ready or untargeted microbubble contrast agents Non-targeted microbubbles allow you to visualize and quantify blood perfusion within an organ or tissue of interest in 2D or …

4D imaging - the next step in the evolution of preclinical echocardiography ! Visualize the dynamic motion of the myocardium throughout the cardiac cycle with the 3D geometry of the heart. 4D ultrasound is the perfect solution for cardiac disease models …

With respect to traditional M-mode, AM permits a more detailed, flexible analysis of cardiac chambers. AM-Mode has been improved by the "fully digital” offering of high temporal resolution. Thus, AM analysis can be performed in any direction, as a …

The Vevo Imaging Station is custom-designed for handling, monitoring, and optimal positioning of small laboratory animals. The system allows for: quick set-up, alignment, and adjustment of the ultrasound probe stable positioning of the anesthetized animal …

Simply stated, strain is deformation. Strain is a more direct measurement of intrinsic myocardial contractility than global values such as ejection fraction or fractional shortening. However, the real power of cardiac strain comes in its ability to detect …

In vitro work can be a vital part of an imaging experiment, whether testing contrast agents for photoacoustic or nonlinear contrast imaging or imaging biological material under controlled conditions. The Vevo PHANTOM imaging chamber and customized tubing …
