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
