Facilitates high-throughput phenotyping of mouse fetal hearts; extends developmental cardiology tools while leaving human translation open.
Can ultrasound imaging be used for noninvasive structural and functional analysis of the developing mouse fetal heart?
Noninvasive cardiovascular ultrasonic evaluation is feasible for structural and functional analysis of developing mouse fetuses, making it suitable for high-throughput screening of mutagenized mice.
Leatherbury et al. (2003) studied Fetal mice cardiovascular development. Noninvasive ultrasound imaging was evaluated on Feasibility of structural and functional analysis of the developing heart. Noninvasive ultrasound imaging successfully enabled structural and functional analysis of the developing mouse fetal heart from gestation day 12.5 to 18.5.
