Revolutionizing Fibrosis Imaging: Unveiling Shear Wave Elastography for Small Animal Imaging

This is a recording of a LIVE webinar presented by Kristiina Aasa, PhD, Product Marketing Manager and Izzie Newsome, PhD, Scientific Applications Specialist from FUJIFILM VisualSonics, presented on Thursday, November 21, 2024.

Join us as we share an all-new imaging mode on the Vevo F2 Imaging System: Shear Wave Elastography Mode! Elastography is an established method for visualizing and assessing liver fibrosis and tissue stiffness in the clinic. This powerful tool is now available at high frequency, specifically optimized for small animal imaging.

During this session we will:

  • Describe Shear Wave Elastography
  • Discuss the value of Elastography in the clinic, and preclinically
  • Showcase Elastography with live imaging of a mouse liver
  • Share images of normal vs fibrotic livers
  • Live Q&A

Past Webinars

This webinar is hosted by Mathew Platt, B.Sc from Dr. Jeremy Simpson's laboratory, University of Guelph. An improved non-invasive method for evaluating post mycoardial infarction cardiac output in a murine model.

March 2015: Kidney and Its Pathologies: Ultrasound imaging of the Kidney and Lower Urinary tract in developmental & disease

Dr. Carlton Bates hosts this webinar titled Ultrasound Imaging of the Kidney and Lower Urinary Tract in Development of Disease. He covers imaging to detect vesicoureteral reflux in live mice, porgressive bladder distension and hydronephrosis and conditional deletion of Fgfr2 in bladder mesenchyme.

April 2015: How to Measure Cardiac Wall Strain?

Presented by Stephen Buttars, MSc, Product Manager at FUJIFILM VisualSonics. This webinar showcases how to measure cardiac wall strain using Vevo Strain. Stephen shares relevance of strain and strain rate measures, conventional functional measures vs. vevo strain analysis, recent publications and software updates.

May 2015: Improve Decision Making for Drug Discovery

Preclinical in vivo studies is a critical step in drug development. In vivo imaging in such studies can benefit drug development with rapid and predictive assays to assess drug toxicity and efficacy to reduce clinical attrition rates. High frequency ultrasound imaging will be addressed in this regard by the panel of speakers.
