Computerised Tomography
Computerised Tomography (CT)
The PIVI facility is equipped with a high performance and resolution in vivo micro-CT system.
The SkyScan 1176 scanner provides an ideal anatomical imaging modality for non-invasive visualisation of lung, fat and bone, without the need for CT contrast agents. With its extra-large imaging bore and long axial field of view, the 1176 model offers excellent flexibility to image a wide range of subjects.
In material sciences, the 1176 system has provided engineering groups with a non-destructive method to investigate shape, porosity, density and other characteristics

Animal monitoring
The physiological monitoring sub-system includes video monitoring of an animal with real-time movement detection, ECG and breathing detection, and temperature stabilization.
