In This Issue

Welcome to the first Preclinical Imaging eNews of 2016. We’ve been busy reporting on important developments, installing the world’s first Albira Si and planning major conferences to enjoy time with you. And this just the beginning! Read all the current news and hang on for more in the coming months.

Rat Liver and Kidney Contrast-Enhanced μCT Imaging

 

There are a variety of commercial CT contrast agents that are used in small animal studies for liver and kidney contrast, respectively. Most soft tissue anatomy has limited innate CT contrast. However, some studies of soft tissue anatomy can be done using CT Exitron™ nano agents and Visipaque™.  Read All

Integrated Imaging

 

Imaging techniques can be combined to leverage the strengths of multiple modalities. Most frequently, a functional imaging modality is performed in sequence with an anatomical modality to obtain an anatomical reference. Recently, there has been some movement toward the development of more integrated imaging systems (Lu et al., 2014). There are now commercially available systems that integrate optical, PET, SPECT, CT, and/or MRI imaging in various combinations. Read all

In Vivo Optical Neuroimaging

 

Preclinical optical imaging has been used in general pathology studies, development of clinically relevant disease models, testing of novel optical probes, and pharmacokinetic evaluation of therapeutics, including those designed to cross the blood brain barrier. Optical imaging has several technical advantages over other imaging modalities.  Read More

World’s First Albira Si Installation at Texas A&M

 

Bruker is pleased to announce Texas A&M Institute for Preclinical Studies (TIPS) has added the Albira Si to their lineup of instruments which already include an In-Vivo Xtreme optical imaging system. This further strengthens their mission of being a leader in translational research and providing comprehensive preclinical research.  Read All

Outfitting a Preclinical Imaging Laboratory

 

When setting up a laboratory you should consider several important aspects: general site requirements, system and software considerations, imaging accessory requirements, animal care solutions and training/personnel considerations for setting up single modality and multimodality preclinical imaging laboratories. Learn all!

Optical/X-ray Imaging for Emerging Viral Infectious Disease Research

 

The Zika virus is currently of particular concern, given that it has been associated with a significantly increased incidence of fetal microcephaly in Brazil since its introduction there in 2015. Thus some governments are announcing intentions to increase funding for research into the development of vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics for emerging virus. Read More

Sunglasses and Beach Towels May Be Needed

 

We are already preparing for the upcoming ISMRM in Singapore and are excited to host our event in this Asian hub. We are also working hard on creating a memorable Preclinical Imaging Night on Monday, May 09. We can’t give out details yet but here’s a hint, sunglasses and beach towels may be needed… Stay tuned for this VIP event! Registration will open early April. Conference website

Hot Topic - Molecular Imaging with Radioactive Tracers

Björn Wängler, Professor of Molecular Imaging and Radiochemistry at Heidelberg University, began collaborating with Bruker two years ago. Among the projects his team is working on is the development of new techniques for diagnosing oligometastasized patients and diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases. Listen to his interesting interview as he discusses the importance of Instrumentation in Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry.

Micro-CT Academy News

The Focus on the staining of biological tissues with chemicals to enhance X-ray absorption contrast, where tissues are imaged by microCT ex vivo or in vitro, represents the maturation of microCT as an imaging method for life sciences. Read More
