Preclinical Imaging
Preclinical imaging refers to the use of advanced imaging technologies to study biological processes, disease progression, and the effects of experimental treatments in laboratory animals (such as mice and rats) before clinical trials in humans. It is an essential part of biomedical research and drug development.
Objectives of preclinical imaging
Study disease mechanisms
Evaluate new drug candidates
Monitor treatment response
Observe organ function in living animals
Reduce the number of animals needed by enabling repeated, non-invasive imaging
