The new system, Vevo-F2, will replace the old Vevo-2100 system that has been serving more than 25 research labs in our community. The new system greatly enhances animal ultrasound imaging capability in the SAI facility.<\/p>\n<p>Some new features of the new ultrasound imaging system include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Six imaging transducers with wide frequency coverage (from 5~ 50 MHz), allowing imaging from mice to small dogs\/cats. These will provide either high resolution imaging down to 30 \u03bcm, or deep penetration up to 15 mm for larger animals.<\/li>\n<li>Superior image quality with HD image processing technology, leading to the reduction in speckle noise and artifacts while enhancing tissue contrast<\/li>\n<li>4D imaging allowing users to capture dynamic motions in 3D fashion, for example, a complete cardiac cycle in 3D volume.<\/li>\n<li>Super-fast frame rates (as high as 10,000 frames-per-second) for dynamic acquisition and processing including contrast enhanced imaging;<\/li>\n<li>Touchpad interface with enhanced workflow<\/li>\n<li>Three active transfer ports allowing switching between one to another transducer seamlessly<\/li>\n<li>Additional image analysis packages: Auto-LV (automatic LV analysis in B-mode and Mmode); VevoStrain (cardiac strain analysis); VevoVasc (vascular tissue analysis); VevoCQ (microbubble contrast enhanced image analysis for tissue perfusion).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some example images of data collected with the Vevo-F2 ultrasound system are shown.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5419\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 989px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5419 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/corefacilities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/943\/2023\/11\/SAI-Vevo-F2-Sample-Images.png\" alt=\"Sample images collected using the Vevo-F2\" width=\"979\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/corefacilities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/943\/2023\/11\/SAI-Vevo-F2-Sample-Images.png 979w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/corefacilities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/943\/2023\/11\/SAI-Vevo-F2-Sample-Images-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/corefacilities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/943\/2023\/11\/SAI-Vevo-F2-Sample-Images-768x370.png 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/corefacilities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/943\/2023\/11\/SAI-Vevo-F2-Sample-Images-600x289.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Sample images collected using the Vevo-F2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The system has been installed and put in service this November.
