New, highest-performance microCT system and novel SiPM PET insert for simultaneous PET/MRI introduced
NEW YORK, New York – Bruker today unveils two new preclinical imaging systems at the World Molecular Imaging Congress 2016 (WMIC: http://www.wmis.org) in New York. The new systems are designed to deliver highest performance and improved convenience for routine imaging, and enable novel translational research into the causes, progression, as well as potential diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Bruker’s new SkyScan™ 1276 microCT (X-ray micro-Computed Tomography) combines highest resolution, speed, accessibility and other innovations to advance improved in vivo scanning of small laboratory animals and of in vitro biological samples in preclinical studies. With continuously variable magnification, including a smallest pixel size of 2.8µm, and a shortest scanning cycle of 3.9 seconds, the SkyScan 1276 gives researchers access to highest-quality images at higher throughput. The SkyScan 1276 also is the world’s first in vivo microCT system with rapid helical scanning, and with unique InstaRecon® technology
