In vivo Micro Computed-Tomography Core
Located in 1111F Weiskotten Hall, this core facility contains a MicroCAT II® (Siemens) Micro-Computed Tomography Scanner, a state-of-the-art tool for investigating morphology and physiology in living small laboratory animals (up to 7 cm in diameter). This equipment allows non-invasive high-resolution (down to 27 microns) imaging of the same living animal over time to perform lateral studies, e.g. to monitor the progression of disease or the response to therapy.
The micro-CT core offers the following resources:
-
Anesthesia machine - during scans animals are anesthetized
- MouseOx® for continuous monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation, pulse rate and breath rate in small animals
- Workstation with Amira® image processing and 3D visualization software
- Ultrafast tomographic reconstruction with Exxim COBRA® software
