Preclinical imaging is the visualization of living animals for research purposes, [1] such as drug development. Imaging modalities have long been crucial to the researcher in observing changes, either at the organ, tissue, cell, or molecular level, in animals responding to physiological or environmental changes.
Imaging Core: The Advanced Imaging Core at MMRI was developed to facilitate the non-invasive analysis of preclinical models of disease. [3] Equipment includes: Perkin Elmer IVIS Spectrum – 2D and 3D optical imaging; Perkin Elmer Quantum GX microCT – x-ray computed tomography imaging; Visual Sonics Vevo 3100 Ultrasound – high frequency ...
In drug development, preclinical development (also termed preclinical studies or nonclinical studies) is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials (testing in humans) and during which important feasibility, iterative testing and drug safety data are collected, typically in laboratory animals.
High resolution 99m Tc-MDP mouse scan acquired with a stationary SPECT system: animated image of rotating maximum intensity projections.. Preclinical or small-animal Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography is a radionuclide based molecular imaging modality for small laboratory animals [1] (e.g. mice and rats).
Amira (ah-MEER-ah) is a software platform for visualization, processing, and analysis of 3D and 4D data. It is being actively developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific in collaboration with the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB), and commercially distributed by Thermo Fisher Scientific — together with its sister software Avizo.
Two-photon excitation microscopy of mouse intestine.Red: actin.Green: cell nuclei.Blue: mucus of goblet cells.Obtained at 780 nm using a Ti-sapphire laser.. Two-photon excitation microscopy (TPEF or 2PEF) is a fluorescence imaging technique that is particularly well-suited to image scattering living tissue of up to about one millimeter in thickness.
[1] [2] A fluorescence microscope is any microscope that uses fluorescence to generate an image, whether it is a simple set up like an epifluorescence microscope or a more complicated design such as a confocal microscope, which uses optical sectioning to get better resolution of the fluorescence image.

Fluo-3 is a fluorescence indicator of intracellular calcium (Ca 2+), developed by Roger Y. Tsien. [1] It is used to measure Ca 2+ inside living cells in flow cytometry , and confocal laser scanning microscopy using visible light excitation (compatible with argon laser sources operating at 488 nm).
