Large Animal Studies

Imaging large animals

Gray-scale, color Doppler and power Doppler imaging is available. The imaging can be performed at multiple frequencies using different ultrasound probes. At selected frequencies, imaging can be performed in both fundamental and harmonic modes.

Measuring blood flow velocity

Spectral Doppler imaging can provide a variety of measures and indices in both arterial and venous flow.

Measuring tissue motion

M-mode imaging is available for measuring tissue motion is cardiac and other applications.

Contrast enhanced sonography

The use of micro-bubble based contrast agents for enhancing ultrasound images is now FDA approved for cardiac imaging, and being evaluated for other clinical applications. Ultrasound Research Services has the resources necessary for performing this type of imaging in both fundamental and harmonic modes. The capability for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of such images also exists within Ultrasound Research Services.

Please Note:

• Investigators are responsible for taking care of their animals.
• Cost are per hour and it is possible to do more than one patient &/or animal per hour.
