3.8 Transfer Bed and Mouse Imaging Shuttle
The transfer bed is for use with the optional Mouse Imaging Shuttle (Figure 3.9). The Mouse Imaging
Shuttle (MIS) contains the subject during image acquisition on the Quantum GX2 microCT Imaging
System and the IVIS
<Univ_8pt>®
Spectrum Imaging System. The MIS transports the subject between the
imaging systems without disrupting the subject position so that 3D volumetric data acquired on the
Quantum GX2 microCT Imaging System can be precisely registered with the optical data obtained
on the IVIS Spectrum Imaging System.
The transfer bed replaces the acrylic beds supplied. A single mounting screw secures the transfer bed
to the movable sample platform on the Quantum GX2 microCT Imaging System scanner. The bed
has an anesthesia supply and exhaust tube attached that connects to the XGI-8 Gas Anesthesia System
hoses.

CAUTION: Bind tubes and cables together to prevent cable disconnection that can be
caused by the inserted tubes or cables touching the electric table.
CAUTION: Image quality may be affected by contrast media or anesthesia on the bore
cover or the sample bed. If contrast media or anesthesia adheres to the bore cover or
sample bed, wipe it off before it hardens or dries out.
CAUTION: Scavenging is recommended when using gas anesthesia. Be aware of air
ventilation requirements when using gas anesthesia.
