Savannah Monitor Coelom Perfused with BriteVu CT Contrast Medium

Preliminary (low resolution) image of a high radiodensity contrast perfused savannah monitor with metabolic bone disease and osteomyeltitis (bone infection). Two of the most interesting findings are the ‘cross hatch’ pattern of the spinal vasculature and the kidneys.  The head is to the left and tail to the right.  The kidneys are at the far right of the image.  The monitor was CT scanned at 0.6 mm.

Alligator Distal Colon and Kidney Contrast Perfusion with BriteVu

An alligator was perfused via the ventral coelomic (abdominal) vein with BriteVu.  Internal organs were removed and CT scanned at 35µm for better visualization.  The distal colon and kidney are scanned as one unit.  The colon is on the top and terminates to the left and seemingly joins the kidney on the bottom left.  Courtesy of Dr Colleen Farmer, Farmer Lab, University of Utah.

BriteVu Perfused Rat Brain

Stewart Yeoh from the Head Injury and Vessel Biomechanics Lab at the University of Utah provided this image of a BriteVu perfused rat brain. This is plain light photography of the dorsal surface of the brain.  The surface vessels are readily visible and contain BriteVu high contrast agent.  The vasculature inside the brain tissue is also well perfused and can be seen in the light histology slide also provided by Stewart Yeoh in this gallery.

BriteVu Perfused Rat Brain

Stewart Yeoh from the Head Injury and Vessel Biomechanics Lab at the University of Utah provided this image of a BriteVu perfused rat brain. The dark lines represent blood vessels in the brain. This is a 200 µm slice with no stain, filters or special lighting (basic white light used). From the orientation of the vessels you can get a sense of how blood flows within the brain.
