MRI of tarantulas: morphological and perfusion imaging.

2005

This paper describes a study performed to evaluate the feasibility of using a 1.5-T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, in combination with pharmacokinetic modeling, to obtain in vivo information about the morphology and perfusion of tarantulas (Eurypelma californicum). MRI was performed on three tarantulas using spin-echo sequences for morphological imaging and a rapid spoiled gradient-echo sequence for dynamic imaging during and after contrast medium (CM; Gd-DTPA) injection. Signal enhancement in dynamic measurements was evaluated with a pharmacokinetic two-compartment model. Spin-echo images showed morphological structures well. Dynamic images were of sufficient qualit…

Tarantula hemocyanins imaged by atomic force microscopy

2004

Individual 4 x 6-meric tarantula hemocyanins and dissociation products were imaged by AFM in the non-contact mode. Although the resolution was low, the hexamers and topological arrangement within the oligomers can be seen. However, the relative humidity seems to affect the height profiles.
