Imaging animal models, primarily mice, helps study human disease processes. While simplifying research, mouse models present in vivo imaging challenges that future advancements aim to overcome.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research
  • Translational medicine
  • Disease modeling

Background:

  • Animal models are crucial for understanding human disease mechanisms.
  • The mouse is a widely used model organism in biomedical research.
  • In vivo imaging techniques are essential for studying disease progression in live animals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the application of imaging in animal models for human disease research.
  • To highlight the advantages and limitations of using mice as primary models.
  • To explore the implications of these models for in vivo imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current imaging techniques applicable to animal models.
  • Discussion of the mouse as a predominant model organism.
