Skyscan 1278

Low-dose high resolution in-vivo micro-CT  

  • Shortest full-body animal scan takes 7.2 seconds with typical dose less than 6 mGy
  • Fast and very sensitive flat-panel detector resolving dynamics of mouse heart and lungs activities even without using a contrast agent
  • Microfocus X-Ray source with adjustable energy from 20 to 65 kV and automatic filter changer allows optimized scanning protocol with minimized applied dose
  • Spatial beam shaper reduces dose 2-5 times without affecting reconstructed image quality
  • Integrated physiological monitoring with breathing sensor, ECG, temperature stabilization and body movement detection
  • On-screen dose meter indicates applied dose to animal based information from individual analysis of X-Rat images
