(April 4, 2023) Overview of Preclinical Small Animal Imaging Modalities & Multimodal Applications

(April 4, 2023) Overview of Preclinical Small Animal Imaging Modalities & Multimodal Applications

Overview:

In this webinar, we will review some of the most used preclinical imaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), computer tomography (CT), ultrasound, photoacoustic, bioluminescence, fluorescence, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA/DXA) and intravital microscopy.

For each modality, we will spend time reviewing the basics of how each works, the strengths and considerations of each, and some key application areas and example images.

Finally, we will discuss the benefits of multimodal imaging and review a few papers utilizing a variety of imaging modalities to help support their outcomes.

This webinar will introduce our educational focus on preclinical imaging modalities coming up in 2023. The webinar will be a brief introduction for those who need to become more familiar with all or some of the preclinical imaging modalities. At the same time, our educational focus over the year will dive deeper into each modality, talk more in-depth about multimodal imaging and its benefits, and explore some of the newer topics emerging in the preclinical imaging world, including theranostics, contrast agent development, and many others.

Please join us as we start this journey and continue to check back as we expand upon the basics introduced during this webinar.
