The small animal ultrasound imaging system is a comprehensive imaging platform. Compared with other imaging systems, the ultrasound system has the advantages of lower establishment, low maintenance costs, easy and fast operation, high efficiency and high-resolution imaging.

At the same time, the ultrasound system can provide anatomical information, functional imaging information and molecular imaging information, and can conduct long-term observation of the same animal, making the ultrasound system likely to become the most important auxiliary tool in small animal preclinical trials in the future.

Ultrasound systems have been widely used in cardiovascular research (with the most comprehensive hemodynamic parameter measurement, cardiac structure and other functions), and are currently recognized as the gold standard in cardiovascular research. In addition, ultrasound systems have performed more prominently in many research areas such as oncology, developmental, musculoskeletal and metabolic diseases, as well as in embryology research. More than 2,000 articles have been published in peer-reviewed journals around the world (science, nature, circulation, cancer research, etc.). Today, ultrasound technology has been widely used in the human body clinically, which shows that it has more advantages in translational medicine.

It represents the development trend of new small animal molecular imaging, is the most promising diagnostic technology for clinical application, and is one of the indispensable technologies and tools in the fields of tumor, heart, blood vessel, and nerve research.
