Molecular Imaging Core
The Molecular Imaging Core images animals and cells by several techniques:
- MRI
- X-rays with planar and 3D scans
- gamma emission with planar and 3D scans
- bioluminescence
- fluorescence
- PET
- images from different modalities can be combined
In 2007-2008 the core added PET imaging, a new MRI, and now has a
cyclotron to produced short lived isotopes for PET scans.
The core again won the Siemens Preclinical Image of the Year
Competition.
