Small animal imaging bearing system and small animal imaging system

Abstract

A small animal imaging bearing system comprises a small animal bearing device and an imaging equipment bearing device. The small animal bearing device comprises a lifting table which is provided with a transverse moving table, the transverse moving table is provided with a small animal bed, and the small animal bed can move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction under the action of the lifting table and the transverse moving table. The imaging equipment bearing device comprises a rotating disk, the rotating disk is provided with a center through hole, and the small animal bed can pass through the center through hole. Meanwhile, the rotating disk can rotate using the transverse moving direction of the transverse moving table as the axis, the small animal bed can also move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and thus a 360-degree image of a small animal can be obtained without rotating the small animal. Meanwhile, the rotating disk can rotate continuously and also can rotate degree by degree, and hence the image precision can be greatly improved. Meanwhile, the small animal imaging bearing system is connected with a computer and an imaging device through a slip ring, and the twining problem of connecting wires is solved as well.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a small animal imaging carrying system and a small animal imaging system. Background technique [0002] Molecular imaging technology can monitor the physiological and pathological changes of specific molecules at the tissue level, cell and subcellular level. Through the development of new tools, reagents and methods, it can detect abnormalities at the cellular and molecular levels during the disease process, before the disease without anatomical changes. Detecting abnormalities, exploring the mechanism of disease occurrence, development and metastasis, and evaluating drug efficacy play a decisive role in improving the diagnosis and treatment of major diseases and establishing disease warning mechanisms. One of the key research directions of this discipline is: the development of multi-modal small animal molecular imaging system, independent research and development of high time resolution and high spatial resolution imaging equipmen...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The mode of traditional small animal imaging equipment is mostly like this: install the imaging equipment on a fixed optical platform, then tie the small animal upright on a rotatable bracket, and image the small animal through the rotation of the small animal. The disadvantages are: small animals are in abnormal positions, so that the best data cannot be obtained in the experiment, and the equipment is not flexible to move, and it is inconvenient to do experiments
