The short school gives the opportunity to learn more about image-based phenotyping using a wide variety of methods to characterize morphologically and functionally disease models. This PATHBIO module will cover the “state of art” for the most relevant imaging techniques used in mice, such as X-ray, microCT, MRI, OPT, HREM, optoacoustic imaging, echography, intravital microscopy, as well as the basis for image analysis and 3D rendering.

Most of these imaging techniques are translational from the human clinic as the technologies were initially developed for assessing human patients and later adapted to mouse models. The course teaching will combine lectures and workshop in which participants will learn how to use Image J for analysis, discern and discuss the processing and the analyzing methods between OPT, HREM, micro-CT & MRI, and finally understand how to take advantage of these imaging methods to answer your scientific questions, specifically focusing on the 3’R criteria (Refinement, Replacement and Reduction), ethics and animal welfare.
