FUJIFILM VisualSonics Launches the New Multi-modal Vevo F2 Imaging Platform for Preclinical Ultrasound | Fujifilm Healthcare

 

 

Overview of Services

 
The Small Animal Ultrasound Core provides access to the F2-cx, a high-resolution digital imaging platform with linear technology and Color Doppler. The Vevo F2xc is ideally suited for cross-functional biological and physiological research. This flagship preclinical imaging platform allows for ultra-high to low frequency ultrasound imaging (71-1 MHz). Powered by next-generation electronics and system architecture, you can image a range of animal models at a low frequency for penetration, and ultra-high frequency for resolution—all in one platform.

The machine offers:

• 30micron resolution
• frame rates up to 10,000 frames per second
• Color and Power Doppler for blood flow quantification and anatomical identification.
• 4D Imaging, rendering, reconstruction & volume analysis
• Superb B-mode (2D) imaging with frame rates up to 10,000 fps with multiple focal zones for enhanced image uniformity
• M-mode assesses motion in cardiovascular applications
• Pulsed-wave Doppler (PW) for blood flow quantification
• Color Doppler shows flow direction, mean velocities & identifies small vessels not seen in B-mode
• Power Doppler for relative quantification of blood flow
• Simultaneous modes and steering for easier & faster studies
• MicroMarker™ Contrast Imaging – for relative perfusion & targeted molecular data
