Mouse Positioning Device for Longitudinal Cancer Research

Project Overview

The Small Animals Imaging Lab located in the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research is in need of a solid, adjustable device that will restrain mice during Positron Emission Tomography and Computerized Tomography (PET/CT) scans. These scans are used to pinpoint cancerous growths within the animal prior to treatment. The device must restrain the animal’s extremities to prevent movement and must include a quantitative analysis device to replicate the animal’s exact anatomical position. The device should improve efficiency for animal restraint compared to the current cardboard restraint device.
