Imaging Facilities Focus On Small Animal Research
Specialized imaging techniques for small animals are providing a way to dramatically reduce the number of animals researchers must commit to a project.
Imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, single positron emission computed tomography, and optical coherence tomography are being used to generate anatomical and biochemical data on animal tumors. So far, imaging facilities have focused on mice and rats, but the instruments are also used to monitor cats, rabbits, and nonhuman primates.
