CVRC Echo Core Facility

The CVRC Echo Core Facility at the UKE offers all members of the DZHK access to a Visualsonics Vevo 2100® high frequency ultrasonograph for small animals. Transthoracic echocardiography is performed by trained staff. They provide a strong background in the evaluation of animal models and can help design protocols to answer research questions. Researchers are introduced into the handling of the technique and receive support for their individual scientific projects.
