MODULATED IMAGING OF RAT GLIOMA

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 大鼠脑肿瘤将通过MI通过头皮和颅骨、通过颅骨以及在颅骨切除术后进行成像。这样做是为了研究MI对被正常组织层覆盖的肿瘤进行成像的潜力。肿瘤也将在光动力治疗后成像。这样做是为了研究MI通过血液含量和氧合的功能成像来监测治疗反应的潜力。 携带脑瘤的大鼠是BLI正在进行的研究的一部分。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Brain tumors in rats will be imaged by MI through the scalp and scull, through the scull, and after craniectomy. This is done to study the potential of MI to image tumors covered by normal tissue layers. Tumors will also be imaged after photodynamic therapy. This is done to study the potential of MI to monitor treatment response by functional imaging of blood content and oxygenation. The brain tumor bearing rats are part of an ongoing study at the BLI.
