DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The specific aim of this proposal is to upgrade our single-wavelength optical imaging scanner for small animals. The upgrade will permit the scanner to operate at 4 wavelengths. This will provide new capabilities to enhance current research by permitting a variety of optical molecular probes to be imaged simultaneously. Currently we have a first generation of the eXplore Optix(tm) scanner, which only operates at 750 nm and is limited to imaging solely Cy7-based optical probes. The proposed upgrade will incorporate 3 additional wavelengths, namely the 470 nm, 650 nm, and 780 nm modules, which will permit time domain fluorescence imaging of GFP, Cy5, and Cy7.5 respectively. The ability to simultaneously measure two or more optical probes during the same experiment will permit the simultaneous measurement of two or more physiologic and/or molecular processes. Our small animal imaging laboratory also has PET and CT imaging devices, but the upgraded explore Optix(tm) scanner will be unique in its ability to control for permeability and/or flow at the same time that we are measuring biochemistry. The UCSD Molecular Imaging Program has many investigators in cancer, molecular biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and radiology. This proposal lists 12 projects that will benefit from the upgraded imager. The simultaneous measurement of multiple processes will provide a tool to answer a question that is central to most molecular image experiments: if a target tissue exhibits increased uptake, is the higher uptake due to increased delivery (blood flow or ligand permeability) or an increase in the affinity or density of the molecular target? At present, these measurements must be conducted in separate animals, which lowers the statistical power to quantify differences. Relevance: Molecular imaging of small animals will play a vital role in the development of imaging protocols for diagnosis and therapy. Properly designed optical imaging experiments permit the simultaneous measurement of multiple molecular processes. By simultaneously detecting optical molecular probes, the instrument can gather greater amounts of information from a single experiment. Consequently, the upgrade of our optical imager to multi-wavelength capability will promote the development towards long- term human applications of molecular imaging. Our long-term objective is to translate optical molecular probes from rodent disease models to the diagnosis and management of human disease. This upgrade will accelerate the path from bench to bedside.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的具体目的是升级小动物的单波长光学成像扫描仪。升级将允许扫描仪以4个波长进行操作。这将通过允许同时成像的各种光学分子探针来提供新的功能来增强当前的研究。目前，我们拥有第一代Explore Optix（TM）扫描仪，该扫描仪仅在750 nm下运行，仅限于仅成像基于CY7的光学探针。拟议的升级将结合3个其他波长，即470 nm，650 nm和780 nm模块，该模块分别允许GFP，CY5和CY7.5的时域荧光成像。在同一实验中同时测量两个或多个光学探针的能力将允许同时测量两个或多个生理和/或分子过程。我们的小型动物成像实验室还具有PET和CT成像设备，但是升级后的Optix（TM）扫描仪在控制渗透性和/或流动的能力上是独一无二的，同时我们正在测量生物化学。 UCSD分子成像程序有许多研究人员在癌症，分子生物学，化学，药理学和放射学方面。该提案列出了12个项目，这些项目将从升级的成像仪中受益。多个过程的同时测量将提供一种工具来回答大多数分子图像实验至关重要的问题：如果目标组织表现出增加的吸收增加，是否由于递送增加（血液流量或配体渗透性）而引起的摄取越高，或者是分子靶标亲和密度的增加？目前，这些测量必须在单独的动物中进行，这降低了量化差异的统计能力。相关性：小动物的分子成像将在诊断和治疗的成像方案的开发中起着至关重要的作用。正确设计的光学成像实验允许同时测量多个分子过程。通过同时检测光学分子探针，该仪器可以从单个实验中收集更多信息。因此，我们的光学成像仪升级到多波长能力将促进向分子成像的长期人类应用的发展。我们的长期目标是将光学分子探针从啮齿动物疾病模型转化为人类疾病的诊断和管理。此升级将加速从长凳到床边的路径。
