MODULATED IMAGING OF RAT GLIOMA

这个子项目是许多利用 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来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 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. 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. 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.
