One great challenge is achieving greater accuracy and throughput for in vivo imaging of small animals. Researchers want to study the same mice repeatedly over time to understand how cellular processes change. By conducting longitudinal studies researchers gain better statistical power, use fewer animals, and arrive at a conclusion quicker than with cross-sectional studies.
Researchers and probe developers also need in vivo imaging systems that combine advanced multispectral fluorescence, luminescence, digital x-ray, and radioisotopic imaging in a single system. This provides the flexibility to answer complex biological questions using as many different approaches as possible since each modality possesses its own set of strengths and weakness.
Carestream Molecular Imaging is addressing the need for in vivo imaging systems that combine advanced multispectral fluorescence, luminescence, digital x-ray, and radioisotopic imaging in a single system. Multispectral tuning of excitation light provides enhanced sensitivity that helps users identify and separate multiple fluorochromes, along with removing the autofluorescence background.
