Double-contrast micro-CT colonoscopy in live mice
2011
Purpose
Models of colon cancer in small rodents are of particular interest as they most closely simulate the development and growth of colonic cancer in humans. Micro-computed tomography has been used for detection of polyps in murine models of colon cancer. The study was performed to evaluate whether a novel high-speed continuous-rotation, single-breath-hold scanning protocol in combination with double-contrasting of the colon can be successfully applied for colonoscopy of live mice at acquisition times of 40 s.
