Facility Details

The Small-Animal IGRT Core specializes in the targeted irradiation of small animals for use in pre-clinical trials of radiation therapy. Through the use of the XRAD-SmART Irradiator, our core can use x-ray fluoroscopy and on-board CBCT to accurately irradiate small lesion areas while protecting normal tissue. Our core also provides experiment design, data analysis, and dosimetry calculations, as well as longitudinal acquisition of CBCT for temporal assessment of tumor growth kinetics.
