IVIS SpectrumCT

The IVIS® SpectrumCT preclinical in vivo imaging system expands upon the versatility and advanced optical feature sets of the IVIS platform integrated with low dose microCT to support longitudinal imaging.

  • Integrated optical and microCT technology
  • 3D optical tomography for fluorescence and bioluminescence
  • Multispectral fluorescence and spectral unmixing
  • Cerenkov imaging for optical radiotracer imaging
  • DyCE™ dynamic enhanced imaging for real time distribution studies of both fluorochromes or PET tracers ideal for PK/PD app
