Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent a major global health challenge, encompassing various conditions including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and hypertension. Advanced ultrasound imaging enables in-depth analysis of cardiac structures, hemodynamics, and microcirculatory changes, facilitating early disease detection while providing scientific support for treatment evaluation and pharmaceutical development.

Cardiac Structural Exploration
Delivers high-resolution 2D imaging to clearly visualize cardiac anatomy (ventricles, atria, valves, etc.), enabling researchers to assess morphological abnormalities.
-
Blood Flow & Vascular Analysis
Utilizing Color and PW modes, small animal ultrasound effectively evaluates hemodynamics. Color mode displays flow direction/velocity via color mapping for cardiovascular flow observation, while PW mode precisely measures flow velocity/waveforms to quantify hemodynamic parameters - widely applied in assessing vascular resistance and cardiac function changes. -
Cardiac Functional Assessment
Myocardial strain imaging measures strain/strain rates to accurately evaluate systolic and diastolic function, detecting early changes in myocardial injury and heart failure. It quantifies myocardial motion for detailed functional analysis, widely applied in small animal models for cardiac disease research and pathological mechanism investigation.

Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI)
In cardiovascular research, small animal ultrasound's TDI mode plays a critical role. It precisely measures tissue motion velocities across cardiac regions for real-time assessment of myocardial systolic and diastolic function. This imaging modality enables investigation of cardiac pump function, myocardial strain, and pathological structural changes, with broad applications in heart failure and cardiomyopathy studies.
