✦ Synopsis

Magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy was used to noninvasively investigate the development of live rat embryos in utero. The difficulty in making sequential observations of a developing mammalian embryo has frustrated developmental biologists for many years. Most current technologies analyze normal and abnormal development by observing end point phenotypes (in fixed specimens) rather than investigating the live embryo. MR microscopy was adapted to allow rat litters to be scanned three times each (at 1- to 3-day intervals) and has produced images of live developing embryos. It was demonstrated that repeated anesthesia and imaging protocols produced no gross malformations in the rat pups that were subsequently delivered and observed. Three-dimensional projection encoding with phase rewinders produced isotropic [256(3)] image data sets in about 30 minutes with excellent tissue contrast arising from steady-state effects in the amniotic fluid.

This article presents a microscopic MR technique for imaging small mammalian fetuses in utero and in vivo which can be used as a tool for studying normal and abnormal development in small animal fetal models, for targeting in utero intervention in such models, and for following development serially.

The application of real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to cardiac imaging is particularly attractive because current MR examinations of left ventricular (LV) function can be prohibitively long and are dependent on electrocardiographic triggering. We conducted a study of the minimum

We demonstrate that MRI imaging at sub-millimetre resolution can distinguish between periportal and perivenous zones of the rat liver lobule. This made it possible to measure the hepatic lobular radius in ex-vivo perfused fixed livers using MRI. Comparisons of histomorphometric and MRI measurements
