Live Mouse Imaging Services
Discover advanced 2D and 3D live mouse imaging services at the Mouse Biology Program, including high-resolution MRI, PET, DEXA, and micro-CT imaging for comprehensive ex-vivo and in-vivo characterization.
The Mouse Biology Program (MBP) offers a comprehensive suite of 2D and 3D imaging services for detailed ex-vivo and in-vivo characterization of adult mice and embryos. These cutting-edge imaging solutions allow precise study of anatomical structures and functional processes, enhancing research outcomes.
- 2D (X-ray) and 3D (Micro-CT) Imaging: Traditional X-ray imaging provides quick, high-resolution snapshots, while micro-computed tomography (µCT) offers detailed 3D visualization. These methods are perfect for analyzing bone density, skeletal malformations, and organ development in a non-invasive manner.
- MRI and PET Imaging: The M7-Aspect MRI system delivers high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET), enabling detailed brain and whole-body scans in live mice. This allows for accurate organ segmentation, volume analysis, and functional imaging, providing critical insights into disease models.
- Body Composition and Density Analysis: Advanced tools like the Scintica Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and Echo-MRI scanner offer precise body fat, lean mass, and bone density measurements. These capabilities support metabolic studies, obesity research, and bone structure analysis in live mice.
- High-Resolution Embryo Imaging: Micro-CT imaging of E9.5 to E18.5 mouse embryos offers detailed 3D visualization, allowing researchers to examine whole embryo structures and identify developmental abnormalities precisely.
Combining advanced imaging technology with expert support, MBP provides powerful tools to explore complex biological questions, delivering qualitative and quantitative insights into tissue morphology, organ function, and developmental processes. Let our imaging services elevate your research to new levels of precision and discovery.
