Description:

Core specializes in imaging small animals and samples with variety of modalities depending on the investigator’s needs. These modalities include MRI, X-Ray CT, PET, SPECT, luminescence, and fluorescence. We work closely with the Radiochemistry Core Lab which can synthesize custom, targeted PET and SPECT imaging agents.
