Customer Background
A domestic medical research institute has long been committed to oncology R&D and drug metabolism research. It requires in vivo CT scanning, 3D image reconstruction and quantitative data analysis of laboratory animals to support multiple ongoing research projects.
Customer Requirements
· A single instrument is expected to support dynamic in vivo scanning of small animals including mice and rats, delivering clear, delicate high-resolution images and quantitative data analysis to meet the data accuracy requirements of research projects.
· The system shall be linked with fluorescence imaging equipment to realize multimodal imaging.
Solution Provided
1. To meet the customer’s requirement for in vivo imaging resolution, our company adopts a dual-detector configuration, fundamentally different from conventional single-detector solutions. A high-resolution scientific X-ray camera works in tandem with a large-area flat-panel detector. While maintaining the field of view, it achieves genuine high-resolution scanning of local regions in living animals, breaking the trade-off limitation between resolution and field of view of single-detector systems, with no increase in overall cost compared with single-detector schemes.
2. The system matches well-known international brands in key performance indicators including image quality, reconstruction speed and operational stability. It fully satisfies high-standard research demands and offers a more cost-effective alternative for customers.
3. Since standard off-the-shelf instruments could not fulfill the user’s requirements, targeted optimizations of hardware interfaces and software were implemented to enable integration with the customer’s existing fluorescence imaging system. Multimodal image fusion and comparative analysis can be completed, and a single workflow addresses the customer’s multi-dimensional imaging needs.
Customer Testimonial
"Since deployment, the instrument has delivered outstanding performance with stable operation and superior image quality. We are satisfied with both imaging clarity and the smoothness of multi-animal scanning. The configurable multi-size animal beds and anesthesia system greatly improve experimental efficiency. The data processing capability of the software fully meets research requirements. What impresses us most is the technical team: they provide thorough training, after-sales support with prompt response and scheduled inspections. This pragmatic and responsible service attitude ensured a very smooth collaboration."
