The new system will replace the old one and provide much-enhanced ultrasound imaging to the community. The upgrade is a crucial step to solving the problem of aging ultrasound imaging equipment and the growing need for ultrasound imaging in animal models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-27244 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1384\/2023\/10\/Vevo-F2.png\" alt=\"Vevo-F2\" width=\"266\" height=\"300\" \/>The requested Vevo-F2 system is the most advanced model from VisualSonics, the leading industry in preclinical ultrasound imaging. Several new features of the Vevo-F2 system include extended frequency range allowing imaging from small rodents to dogs; various transducers providing either high resolution down to 30 micron, or deep penetration up to 15cm; 4D imaging allowing to acquire, visualize, and analyze a complete dynamic cardiac cycle in 3D volume; enhanced Doppler sensitivity and faster frame rates for superior blood flow imaging; and enhanced image processing technology with a reduction in speckle noise and image artifacts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department congratulates Hong Yuan, PhD, Professor of Radiology, on her S10 Grant for her project entitled, \u201cPreclinical Vevo-F2 ultrasound imaging system for Small Animal Imaging core facility.\u201d This $490K grant funds the installation of a preclinical ultrasound imaging system at UNC\u2019s Small Animal Imaging (SAI) core facility, which Dr. Yuan leads.
