The Molecular Imaging Core images animals and cells by several techniques:

• MRI
• bioluminescence
• fluorescence
• PET
• images from different modalities can be combined

A cyclotron produces radioisotopes which the Radiochemistry Laboratory uses to make radioisotopes for non-invasive Positron Emission Tomography imaging. The Radiochemistry Laboratory synthesizes established radiotracers and assists development of novel imaging agents.
