With the introduction of Adaptive microCT in 2017, MILabs broke down many barriers to high-resolution X-ray CT imaging of small animals.
Voxel sizes down to 2.4 micron, negligible X-ray doses as low as 2 mGy for whole-body mouse scans, fast dual-gated dynamic image acquisitions, multi-X-ray energy CT, and a scan range from mice to full-body rabbits, are some of the principal reasons that no other microCT can match the in vivo application capabilities of MILabs U-CT, including both diagnostic and molecular microCT imaging.
This is further illustrated by current users who keep expanding its use for innovative applications. Here are just a few of the latest:

In vivo virtual CT bronchoscopy – from mouse to rabbit
|
|
For the first time, respiratory-gated high-resolution in vivo imaging allows virtual bronchoscopy imaging of living mice up to rabbits with a single system. This unique capability enables translation of lung disease research from humanized mouse models to rabbits, the clinically most relevant animal facsimile of human lung diseases.

X-ray fluoroscopy using U-CT – no extra system or hardware required
|
|
|
Now you can make X-ray “movies” of moving body structures or observe the movement of contrast dye through certain organs of interest. The exclusive fast readout capabilities of U-CT enable fast dynamic in vivo fluoroscopy acquisitions.

CT-guided Optical Tomography
|
|
Quantitative optical imaging of deep tissue has for many years been considered the holy grail of preclinical optical imaging. Using segmented contrast-enhanced X-ray CT images, users of MILabs VECTor OI-CT systems are now routinely able to reconstruct and quantitate diffuse optical tomography images.

Cryo-cooled CT 3D autoradiography
|
|
When MILabs’ microCT is used with the SPECT option, researchers can finally eliminate the tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone steps from traditional quantitative 3D autoradiography. As such, researchers can bridge the gap between in vivo and histopathology with a single system.
