1. Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography uses sound waves, which are transmitted in soft tissues, to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound imaging is widely used in clinical research, with advantages including a lack of ionizing radiation, non-invasive operation, intuitive images, and affordability. Small animal ultrasound images most commonly use B-mode (brightness mode) greyscale scanning to capture diagnostic images. This diagnostic imaging method is used in various fields of small animal in vivo imaging research, such as cardiology, oncology, reproduction and development, neurobiology, stem cell research, pathotoxicology, pharmacology, nanobiology, and others.
