With the mapping of the mouse genome, the growing sophistication in transgenic sciences creating complex mouse models of disease, and the demand to study disease in vivo, there has been a corresponding increase in the demand for and development of preclinical imaging modalities. Clinical ultrasound operating in the 2-12 MHz range is a well established clinical imaging modality, accounting for more than one-third of all imaging procedures performed in North America. The simplicity, ease of use, speed, and safety of ultrasound have led to its significant role in diagnosis, treatment assessment, follow-up, and guidance of therapy in clinical applications. Ultrasound imaging is used routinely in its B-Mode imaging mode to report on soft tissue structures. It's also used in its Doppler modes for the measurement of blood velocity in fast-flowing targets such as the cardiovascular system, in slow-flowing applications such as quantifying blood flow and in vascular architectures within tumors.
