High-resolution color CT imaging for preclinical research, complete with advanced imaging analysis tools. MARS scanner generates multi-energy images with high spectral and high spatial resolution and with low noise. This allows functional imaging by simultaneously identifying and quantifying various components of soft tissues, bone, cartilage as well as exogenously administered contrast agents, nanoparticles, and pharmaceuticals in a single scan. The specimen to be imaged remains stable on a translatable bed with rotating gantry that houses an x-ray tube and a MARS camera. With the MARS Microlab 5X120 scanner, specimens up to 120mm diameter and 700mm in length can be imaged (up to 300mm can be imaged in a single scan). • Spectral range: 30-120 keV • Variable source and detector distances giving variable magnification • MARS Vision workstation with the MARS Vision visualization and image analysis software for energy and material analysis • Radiation dose similar to conventional CT (20-80 mGy) • Fully x-ray shielded cabinet on industrial, locking caster wheels • Reconstruction, processing and PACS server rack mounted inside scanner • Data acquired and stored in a standard medical format (DICOM) • Adjustable filters, and x, y automatic tracking collimators • Scan time: 8 minutes for a sample with 30 mm diameter and 15 mm length http://www.marsbioimaging.com/mars-for-researchers/
