Computerised Tomography (CT) allows high quality 3D imaging of preclinical animal models based on the reconstruction of 2D X-ray images captured at different angles. Albira uses dedicated beds for rats and mice with incorporated gas anesthesia. Different image capture modes allow users to balance capture time and image quality. The Albira software suite automates the reconstruction process, while the included PMOD software allows users to perform advance analyses and to export data into popular formats such as DICOM. It allows the possibility of combining CT data with fluorescence.
Applications:
>> Tumour imaging and quantification
>> Bone and implantation studies
>> Anatomical CT data is often used in conjunction with other modalities including fluorescence
