eXplore Locus
Due to significant advances in transgenic and animal models of disease, new challenges emerge to effectively and efficiently obtain accurate, quantitative data in a non-invasive manner.
The eXplore Locus in vivo MicroCT scanner from GE Healthcare overcomes these challenges and delivers high quality volumetric images with low dosing to support the most demanding longitudinal studies.
With an intuitive user interface and a comprehensive list of visualization and quantification software features, the eXplore Locus provides an optimal solution for a broad range of pre-clinical imaging research applications.

Applications |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Bone Disease: assess disease development through volumetric
bone density measurements, cortical bone parameters and anatomical changes
Oncology: differentiate normal tissues from tumors through
analysis of angiogenic parameters, measure solid tumor volumes, and
quantify metastases
Respiratory disease: visualize and quantify airway structures
and vasculature of the lungs, measurement of bronchial thickness
|
|
|
Cardiovascular disease: image stenosis, vascular
disease and development, injury/repair, vessel geometry and the effects
of therapy
Phenotyping: characterize anatomical differences in
tissue, organ, vascular, and skeletal formation in normal or transgenic
models |
