Micro CT technology to help researchers understand the new crown pneumonia virus
Micro CT - help researchers to understand the new crown pneumonia virus
Cooperate with all walks of life, and to determine how to equipped with the best tools for them to make them excellent research achievements, it let us very excited, and at the same time let's awe.
In the design phase of the project, brooke's instruments can be involved in the exciting new applications, see our instruments may impact on the interests of the whole society play a key role, which let us feel honored.
The new crown pneumonia virus pandemic bring medical workers not only pressure, also responsible for life science organization quickly find treatments.However, the new virus poses a special challenge, because they are an unknown entity.Understanding a virus, including how it affects their host, is the key to develop treatment products.Although we seem to know a new crown pneumonia virus mainly attacks the respiratory system, especially the lungs, but scientists need more detailed understanding, to be able to develop therapies.
Micro computer tomography (micro - CT) is in clinical (former) in the diagnosis of lung pathology of a reliable method.A research team at the university of leuven in Belgium with brooke SkyScan, 1278, in a micro CT system, for the pathological changes of lung imaging provides an important basic work.Now, through to Rega research institute and the clinical epidemiology and virology laboratory team, the team are new champions will focus to pneumonia virus research.
The researchers used the operation method of the implementation of lesions in pulmonary research before, are trying to use these methods to help determine which candidates to treat it that can through clinical trials.The study represents the first in the world for new crown pneumonia virus using mice and hamsters in vivo preclinical imaging experiments of the model.
Use of brooke's instrument, can be realized based on lung infection and treatment of SARS - CoV - 2 check.It is essential that enable researchers to low doses of radiation of the system without harming animals, under the condition of the same animal imaging repeatedly, in order to obtain high quality 3 d images.
Brooke's instrument enable scientists to obtain breakthrough, and develop new applications, in order to improve the quality of human life, we are helping to understand our world recently faced to pave the way for one of the most destructive epidemic.
