FEATURED IMAGE:
Imaging Zebrafish with High Frequency Ultrasound
Zebrafish are model organisms for biomedical research. There are structural, functional, and genetic similarities with humans that make zebrafish a useful model for not only cardiovascular research but also oncology, developmental biology and aquaculture. Zebrafish are small, develop quickly, and because they are vertebrates, they share many of the same organs and cell types as mammals.
Imaging zebrafish using Vevo imaging technology allows for:
- Imaging without being affected by skin pigments
- Imaging fish in their natural environment
- High frame rates
- Precise assessment of blood flow and heart rate
CASE STUDY:
Non-invasive Morphological and Functional Assessment of Biological Structures
A conversation with: Dr. Francesca Iacobellis: a specialist radiologist at Centre of Biotechnology of A. Cardarelli Hospital, Naples, explains how ultra high frequency ultrasound imaging is enabling non-invasive morphological and functional assessment of biological structures in preclinical environments.
