This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goal of this research is to determine if micro-CT can be used for image-based quantification of pulmonary pathology in rats, particularly pulmonary fibrosis. The imaging study will develop an animal model in an imaging modality for assessing environmental agents capable of producing pulmonary fibrosis. The imaging studies will help to prove the possibility of using microCT to show pulmonary fibrosis in rats. Images can be used to quantify the extent of lung damage.
