Respiratory System Radiology Testing in Laboratory Animals
The respiratory system radiology testing of laboratory animals is a critical component within clinical and healthcare testing. This service involves the imaging analysis of the respiratory tract, including the lungs, bronchi, trachea, and pleura, to assess normal physiology or diagnose pathologies associated with these organs.
Respiratory System Radiology Testing in Laboratory Animals plays an essential role in preclinical research, compliance testing, and R&D activities. This service is vital for understanding the effects of pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and other therapeutic interventions on the respiratory system of laboratory animals. The imaging techniques used include X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans.
For this testing, we utilize high-resolution imaging equipment that ensures precise visualization of even the smallest structures within the lungs and airways. Preparing specimens for radiology testing involves careful handling to maintain the integrity of the respiratory system anatomy during imaging. The primary goal is to minimize stress on the animals while ensuring accurate diagnostic information.
Our service adheres to strict international standards such as ISO 17025, which ensures that our laboratory meets the highest quality requirements for testing and calibration services. Our radiology team comprises highly skilled professionals with expertise in both imaging technology and animal physiology.
