CARDIAC MICRO-CT

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。 本研究的目的是评估体内微型CT改善啮齿动物心脏成像。 成像研究将评估微型CT在ECG周期的不同阶段对心脏进行3D成像的方式。当用于小鼠和大鼠的心脏病模型时，图像可用于量化正常和功能障碍病例。

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. The goal of this research is to assess in vivo micro-CT to improve cardiac imaging in rodents. The imaging studies will assess the way the micro-CT can perform 3D imaging of the heart in different phases of the ECG cycle. Images can be used to quantify the normal and dysfunctional cases when used with heart disease models in mice and rats.
