QUANTITATIVE PRECLINICAL TUMOR IMAGING USING MICRO-CT

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 其目的是评估一种新的光学技术，用于高分辨率成像3D肿瘤微血管，并为R01提交的初步数据。评估将通过与来自Micro-CT和Micro-MRI的3D微血管成像在相同动物上进行比较来进行。初步数据是R01应用成功的关键步骤。光学CT与Micro-CT和Micro-MRI的图像对比将极大地加强其应用。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The aim is to evaluate a novel optical technique for high-resolution imaging of 3D tumor micro-vasculature, and gain preliminary data for an R01 submission. Evaluation will be done by comparison with 3D micro-vasculature imaging from micro-CT and micro-MRI on the same animals. Preliminary data is critical step for successful R01 application. Comparison images of optical-CT vs micro-CT and micro-MRI will greatly strengthen the application.
