Description:

The Small Animal Imaging Facility (SAIF) at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at Shreveport provides state of the art noninvasive imaging support to investigators who use small animal models in their research.  The SAIF currently provides a spectrum of imaging modalities including optical imaging (bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging), X-ray imaging, computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET). The SAIF also provides imaging support services for investigators, including assistance in experimental design, conducting animal studies including anesthetization and imaging acquisition, and processing and interpreting imaging data
