In Vivo Imaging Apparatus:
The Reliable Path to Long-Term, Real-Time Observation |
|
|
IVIM Technology’s intravital microscopy platform, combined with custom imaging windows and organ-specific chambers, enables longitudinal in vivo imaging—repeatedly visualizing the same tissue region in a single animal over days to weeks.
This approach minimizes inter-animal variability, increases statistical power, and reduces animal usage, while preserving the native tissue microenvironment.
By imaging identical regions over time, researchers can capture early and subtle biological changes, directly observe cellular and vascular responses to disease or therapy in real time, and reconstruct the temporal sequence of events that is often lost in end-point studies. |

Application 1. Longitudinal Tracking of Tumor-Infiltrating T Cell Dynamics |
|
|
Figure 1. Longitudinal Imaging of Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocyte Movement in Breast Cancer Model
Window / Chamber: Dorsal Skinfold Chamber
The dorsal skinfold chamber enables stable, repeated access to the same tumor microenvironment over time. In this model, the same tumor region was longitudinally imaged at days 1, 3, 8, and 11 after implantation, allowing immune cell behavior to be tracked across early, intermediate, and later stages of tumor progression.
By imaging identical regions across more than a week, dynamic changes in T cell localization and motility could be directly quantified - revealing a gradual transition from early-stage immune quiescence to active T cell infiltration and migration within the tumor mass.

Application 2. Mapping Neurovascular and Tissue Remodeling Over 30 Days After Microinfarction |
|
|
Figure 2. Longitudinal Imaging of Brain Shrinkage Followed by Photo-thrombosis in Cranial Imaging Window Model
Window / Chamber: Cranial Imaging Window
The cranial imaging window supports long-term, high-resolution imaging of cortical tissue and vasculature over weeks. Using this window, the same cortical region was repeatedly imaged at days 0, 1, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 30 following targeted photo-thrombosis of a single arteriole.
This extended longitudinal timeline enabled direct visualization of the full progression - from acute vascular occlusion and edema in the first days, through gradual resolution, to delayed cortical shrinkage and chronic tissue remodeling over one month.

Application 3. Monitoring Orthotopic Tumor Growth Over Multiple Days in a Deep Organ |
|
|
Figure 3. Longitudinal Imaging of Cancer Cell Growth in Pancreas Imaging Window Model
Window / Chamber: Pancreas Imaging Window
The pancreas is a highly dynamic and anatomically constrained organ, making repeated in vivo imaging particularly challenging. IVIM's pancreas imaging window overcomes these limitations by stabilizing pancreatic tissue and providing consistent optical access, enabling reliable longitudinal imaging of the same pancreatic region over time.
Using this window, orthotopic pancreatic tumors were repeatedly imaged from day 9 to day 14 after implantation, allowing continuous visualization of tumor growth together with angiogenic remodeling within the native pancreatic microenvironment without re-opening or re-positioning the tissue. |
