Prospect by S-Sharp

Prospect is a small animal ultrasound imaging system with a spatial resolution up to 30μm. It provides researchers real-time and non-invasive image acquisition capabilities for in vivo and longitudinal studies on animal models. With a high frame rate and impressive sensitivity, it is capable of visualizing fast moving events such as blood flows and heart motions, as well as micro-vasculatures on mouse models. Tumor size can also be easily quantified in either 2D or 3D imaging mode.

Imaging Features

  • Real-time color Doppler imaging and triplex imaging in update mode (B/ PW/Color).
  • Molecular imaging for perfusion and targeting information.
  • Comprehensive measurement tools for image analysis with 2-D and 3-D image data.
  • Programmable imaging parameters (center frequency, cycle, PRF, TGC... etc) for each probe to optimize image quality in different applications.
  • Full line of image adjustments for live viewing and retrospective review.
  • Virtual Array (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique) for improved image resolution and depth of field.
