Caliper introduces preclinical multimodality imaging software

Caliper Life Sciences has introduced software and accessory items to enable the direct co-registration of 3D optical images with other multiple preclinical imaging modalities.

With the Living Image Multi Modality Software Module, researchers can import data from preclinical microCT, MRI, PET and SPECT into the Living Image software environment for combination with 3D bioluminescence and fluorescence images from an IVIS Spectrum optical imaging system, said the Hopkinton, Mass.-based company.

The software contains advanced visualization features, and the mouse imaging shuttle immobilizes the animal for transport between the different systems to enable co-registration, added Caliper.
