Practical Application of MRI Histology in Toxicologic Pathology
Sponsored by the International Academy of Toxicologic Pathology
and
The Society of Toxicologic Pathology
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
12:00 Noon–1:30 PM
Complimentary Session, Advance Registration Required*
Isotropic 3-D in vivo MRI images of rats and mice as well as images of formalin-fixed whole tissue specimens are possible with compact scanners that can now be safely used in an animal room, a histology laboratory, or a pathologist’s office. Compact MRI in vivo imaging provides an opportunity for longitudinal evaluation of tissue changes and tumor development in experimental animal models. Imaging of whole fixed tissue samples permits a thorough examination of multiple digital slices with subsequent volumetric measurement of 3-dimensional structures while leaving the specimen intact for subsequent conventional H&E histology. This session will provide examples of major organ system pathologies encountered in rodent toxicity and carcinogenicity studies with emphasis on how MRI imaging technology can serve as an important adjunct to conventional pathology evaluation. The objective will be to use rodent animal models & show live animal images followed by images of the fixed specimens from the same animal model and comparison with conventional H&E-stained sections.
* Session is limited to the first 75 32nd Annual Symposium attendees who preregister.
Lunch will be provided.
