pulse wave Doppler for atrial, aortic and carotid flow
colour and power Doppler for blood flow quantification & anatomical identification
needle guidance for closed chest intracardiac injections
3D tumour volumes
Tumour perfusion
Developmental research
3D imaging of embryos in situ
Monitoring brain development
Measuring cardiac function
Imaging modes
Superb B-Mode (2D) imaging for anatomical visualization and quantification, with enhanced temporal resolution with frame rates up to 740 fps (in 2D for a 4x4 mm FOV), and enhanced image uniformity with multiple focal zones
M-Mode for visualization and quantification of wall motion in cardiovascular research, single line acquisition allows for the very high-temporal (1000 fps) resolution necessary for analysis of LV function
Anatomical M-Mode for adjustable anatomical orientation in reconstructed M-Mode imaging; software automatically optimizes field of view for maximum frame rate
M-mode imaging of mouse left ventricle
Pulsed-Wave Doppler Mode (PW) for quantification of blood flow
Color Doppler Mode for detection of Ìýblood vessels including flow directional information and mean velocities; as well as for identification of small vessels not visible in B-Mode
Color Doppler imaging in the mouse spleen
3D-Mode Imaging for anatomical and vascular visualization, when combined with either B-Mode, Power Doppler Mode or Nonlinear Contrast Imaging; allows for quantification of volume and vascularity within a defined anatomical structure
3D B-Mode imaging of orthotopic hepatoma tumor. Dark blue tumor volume. Light blue liver, Orange kidney
