CT imaging for preclinical research

Gain clear, high-resolution anatomical insight fast, so you can quantify structure, track change over time, and strengthen study interpretation.

MILabs’ U-CT systems deliver precise 3D anatomical imaging with exceptional speed and low radiation dose. Used both as a standalone research tool and within multimodal workflows, U-CT supports longitudinal studies and detailed structural analysis across a wide range of research areas and animal models.

CT scanner from MILabs (U-CT)

Study anatomy as a primary endpoint with speed and precision, so you can quantify structure, track change over time, and generate reliable 3D datasets. With MILabs’ U-CT system, you benefit from:

  • EWhole-body mouse imaging in as little as 5 seconds at ultra-low dose (~2 mGy)
  • EResolution that scales with your needs, from 30 µm down to 2.4 µm (ex vivo)
  • EAdvanced in vivo capabilities (dynamic contrast studies, ultra-fast fluoroscopy, DEXA, virtual endoscopy)
  • ESensor-free cardiac and respiratory gating for reliable motion-resolved imaging, up to four mice at a time
  • EOptional multi-animal imaging to increase throughput without added complexity
