The scanner will be installed by year’s end at the Centre for Advanced Preclinical Imaging (CAPI) within the university’s First Faculty of Medicine. It will enable in vivo preclinical imaging, allowing researchers to visualize biological processes in living organisms in color and in unprecedented detail, the company said.
The Mars Microlab 5X120 enables simultaneous measurement of up to eight energy windows/bins at very high spatial resolution (50 to 200 µm) with low noise. It also enables identification and quantification of various components of soft tissues, bones, cartilage, and exogenously administered contrast agents and pharmaceuticals in a single scan of up to six different materials simultaneously.
