Dr. Philippe Pibarot’s team at the IUCPQ-ULaval Research Centre is providing its ultrasound platform to users of the animal supply facility. The machinery of this platform was specifically acquired for research and is designed for imaging in small-sized animals, making the resolution of images optimal in rodents.
Although often used in cardiology, our ultrasound machines can serve to detect and measure tumours, as well as to study the functions of internal organs or the development of embryos in pregnant females.
