Preclinical Imaging Webinars

Experts discuss electrical and optical-based techniques capable of stimulating and recording neuronal activity during fMRI, share examples using these tools to study neurovascular coupling, and introduce a method to acquire fMRI data at zero echo time and discuss the advantages over traditional fMRI technique.

Experts discuss how microscopy, electrophysiology, and optogenetics are used to study microglial calcium signaling and epileptic networks in awake head-fixed mice.

Carl Petersen and Alexei Verkhratsky share their research on homeostatic neuroglia and imaging of neuronal network function.

Dr. Marty Pagel introduces the CEST MRI technique, demonstrates a basic experiment, and explains why measuring protein, acid, and metabolite content can be so beneficial in applications of brain ischemia and cancer.

Dr. Malmstrøm demonstrates how correlations between NMR data and bioactivity can be used to confirm the structure and activity of proteins.

Renowned MRI expert, Prof. Jim Wild, will discuss the clinical applications of 129Xe lung imaging with a focus on novel pulmonary therapies using hyperpolarized gas and proton lung MRI as markers.

An infectious lung disease expert shares compelling evidence for the use of micro-CT to repeatedly evaluate disease progression and therapy efficacy in live animals.

Experts discuss how functional ultrasound imaging in awake head-fixed mice can help advance basic neuroscience and neurovascular research, as well as preclinical drug discovery.

Experts provide a guided tour to PET image reconstruction for the application-oriented user. They share the pros and cons, and give you a glimpse of what to expect in the future with exciting insights into future trends.

Scientists discuss the use of NMR to analyze the antiviral drug Azidothymidine AZT, a medication currently used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS.

Dr. Rohan Virgincar gives insight into the fundamentals of hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI and shares practical considerations for high-resolution imaging in rodent models of lung disease.

Experts discuss how PET/CT imaging can be used to enable image-guided neurointerventions and to study targeted delivery and clearance of therapeutic agents.
