Acquire Robust Data to Support Your Colorectal Cancer Research

With the Vevo Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) imaging systems you can delineate colon walls, abnormalities, and tumors with high resolution.
How Can Ultra-High Frequency Ultrasound Help with GI research?
- Non-invasive, pre-palpable tumor identification
- 3D volume quantification
- Contrast-enhanced imaging colon and tumor perfusion
- Intestinal motility and inflammation models

3D rendered high-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and photoacoustic (red) image of the mouse abdomen showing oxygen saturation in the kidney and spleen.

Mouse abdomen

3D rendered high-resolution ultrasound (grey) and photoacoustic (red) image of the whole mouse abdomen showing highly absorbing gut contents overlaid with anatomy as visualized with ultrasound.

Intestinal Cilia in the Rabbit
Motility of the rabbit intestine in a model of bowel disease. Cilia within the walls can be seen as well as fecal matter movement.
