OPTICAL-CT, MICRO-CT, MR MICROSCOPY FOR 3D IMAGING

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 其目的是评估一种用于3D肿瘤微血管高分辨率成像的新型光学技术，并为10月份的R 01提交获得初步数据。将通过与相同动物的显微CT和显微MRI的3D微血管成像进行比较来进行评价。初步数据是成功应用R 01的关键步骤。 光学CT与显微CT、显微MRI图像对比将大大加强其应用。

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 in October. Evaluation will be done by comparison with 3D microvasculature 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.
