Advanced CT Imaging in Preclinical Research: Pioneering Tomorrow’s Cardiovascular Innovations Today

Advanced CT Imaging in Preclinical Research: Pioneering Tomorrow’s Cardiovascular Innovations Today
The evolution of medical device testing demands increasingly sophisticated imaging capabilities. At Veranex, our state-of-the-art CT scanning facilities in Paris and Atlanta combined with the expertise of our people represent the cornerstone of modern preclinical cardiovascular research, offering unparalleled imaging precision for medical device developers like you.   

Imaging Excellence In Preclinical Across Two Continents

Our Paris facility features the Aquilion Prime SP CT scanner by Canon Medical Systems, paired with advanced 3mensio Structural Heart software. 
This combination delivers: superior cardiovascular imaging resolution, enhanced preoperative planning capabilities, precise postoperative device assessment  and comprehensive structural heart analysis advancing preclinical research through technology.

Our Atlanta facility houses the GE LightSpeed VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner with  gating capabilities, offering: real-time 3D anatomical imaging, intraoperative scanning capabilities, mobile platform flexibility for procedural work and cost-effective testing protocols.

The integration of these advanced CT systems has revolutionized our preclinical testing capabilities enabling our clients to accelerate development timelines, reduce costs between milestones, enhance safety assessment protocols and improve efficacy validation.

“The ability to execute cardiac cath lab preclinical programs combined with electrophysiology is exceedingly rare. [ Veranex ] has the infrastructure and expertise to make it happen.” - Dr. Hee Cheol Cho, Associate Professor, Emory and Georgia Tech

Quality Assurance and Regulatory Compliance 

Our imaging capabilities support preclinical feasibility studies, GLP and non-GLP, for proof of concept validation and safety assessments in small and large models. These comprehensive services span all therapeutic areas, ensuring thorough evaluation of medical technologies before human trials. 

“Immediate access to this technology means the data generated is no longer cost prohibitive to many of our customers and prospects. It can also significantly reduce the number of very expensive days between milestones for medtech innovators once the ball gets rolling.” - Michael Sweet, Director of Preclinical Study Management , Veranex

Veranex is a global industry leader in preclinical testing.
