Imaging in experimental models of diabetes

Andrea Coppola et al. Acta Diabetol. 2022 Feb.

Abstract

Translational medicine, experimental medicine and experimental animal models, in particular mice and rats, represent a multidisciplinary field that has made it possible to achieve, in the last decades, important scientific progress. In this review, we have summarized the most frequently used imaging animal models, such as ultrasound (US), micro-CT, MRI and the optical imaging methods, and their main implications in diagnostic and therapeutic fields, with a particular focus on diabetes mellitus, a multifactorial disease extremely widespread among the general population.

Keywords: Diabetes; Experimental imaging; Experimental medicine; Experimental models; Murine models.
