Description

Multi-modality imaging system
Technical field
The utility model relates to Medical Imaging Technology field more particularly to multi-modality imaging systems.
Background technique
Cancer is most common one kind in malignant tumour, is the number one killer for threatening human health.Currently, global cancer Swift and violent growing trend is presented in case, and new cases are mainly from developing country.Since high mortality, high disability rate and medical treatment are negative It carries on a shoulder pole the features such as big, malignant tumour has become the public health problem or even social concern that one must pay much attention in the whole world. In patient's lethal factor caused by cancer, metastases are most important factors.
Currently, the research to metastases mainly carries out with the toy using mouse, rat as representative.Specifically grinding When studying carefully, tumor disease model is established with toy first, the physio-pathological characteristic of its metastases is then studied, grinds The cancer diagnosis technology of sending out new, anti-tumor drug and therapeutic evaluation is carried out to drug.It is small in the method for various research toys Animal whole body bioluminescence imaging technology can carry out the whole body of different time points to same a collection of toy, observe for a long time, substantially drop Low experimental cost, and the reliable experimental data of repetition is obtained, while being in metastases early stage by highly sensitive molecular probe It can effectively be observed, to realize the entire transfer process monitored over time to tumour cell.Related major imaging techniques Including computer tomography (Computed Tomography, CT), magnetic resonance imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI) and structure imagings and the photoacoustic imaging (Photoacoustic such as ultrasonic imaging (Ultrasound) Imaging), positron emission tomography (Positron Emission Tomography, PET) and single photon emission calculate The functional imagings such as machine tomographic imaging (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, SPECT).However, Information acquired in these single mode imaging techniques has some limitations, and can not reflect that the complexity of organism is special completely Property, cause the research for metastases that cannot provide comprehensive and accurate information.
