This seminar will present how the high-resolution FUJIFILM VisualSonics Vevo 3100 Ultrasound Imaging System can transform and expand your preclinical studies. Specifically designed for non-invasive small animal imaging, the Vevo 3100 is optimized for use in mouse and rat models. In cancer research, the system enables precise image-guided injection of cancer cells into target organs (such as the pancreas, liver, and bladder) to initiate orthotopic tumor development with high accuracy and reproducibility. The platform’s ability to detect and measure small tumors in both 2D and 3D makes it a powerful tool for tracking tumor growth and treatment response over time. The Vevo 3100 also facilitates assessment of tumor vasculature through power doppler and microbubble contrast imaging, facilitating studies of tumor angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. In addition, the platform supports evaluation of cardiac function, which is critical for assessing the cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents like anthracyclines (e.g., doxorubicin). For liver disease models, the system enables non-invasive quantification of liver fibrosis and steatosis, providing valuable insights into hepatic pathology. Beyond oncology, the Vevo 3100 can also be used in brain imaging, developmental biology, and nephrology. The Sylvester Cancer Modeling Shared Resource (CMSR) has a Vevo 3100 that is available to support your research. Following the seminar, the CMSR will host two workshops that will provide hands-on training with the Vevo 3100 system. This seminar and hands-on training will demonstrate how the Vevo 3100 can enhance experimental precision, improve data reproducibility, and accelerate translational discoveries.
