The VisualSonics (VSI) Vevo 2100 system is an in vivo micro-ultrasound imaging system, specially designed for in-vivo small animal (rodent) imaging.
The system allows anatomical, morphological and functional 2D/3D imaging, with resolution as low as 30 µm, is equipped with isoflurane anesthesia and monitoring system enabling respiratory and cardiac gating, a variety of transducers designated for anatomical, vascular and cardiac rodent imaging, an adjustable rail system and physiology plate for easy animal positioning and handling.
Transducer | Collar color | Specifications | Additional characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
MS-250 | Yellow | Rat cardiology and abdominal imaging | 21MHz, max image width 23mm, max depth 30mm |
MS-400 | Red | Optimized for mouse cardiovascular imaging with frame rates higher than 300 fps | 30 MHz, max image width 15.4mm, max depth 20mm |
MS-550S | Gray | Optimized for mouse embryology imaging and injection | 45 MHz |
The proprietary Vevo LAB software enables acquisition and offers image analysis/annotation tools for cardiac, abdominal, vascular, embryology and ophtalmology measurements. It is available both at the Vevo 2100 US station and offline, at the BCF image analysis unit on the Computer in-vivo analysis.
