MRI: A Bruker Biospec 4.7T MRI with a 40cm bore, suitable for various sample sizes. It features a high-resolution cryogenic probe for improved signal-to-noise ratio. Complete monitoring and anesthesia systems are also available.
Preclinical PET-CT: A nanoScan PET-CT (Mediso Medical Imaging Systems), offering high-resolution imaging (up to 0.7 mm). It includes complete monitoring and anesthesia systems. We also have a gamma counter (HIDEX) for ex vivo measurements with very high sensitivity, an Amersham Typhoon scanner for high-resolution phosphor imaging, and a Supersonic Imagine Aixplorer for ultrafast ultrasound imaging.
OPTICAL IMAGING: A planar PhotonImager (Biospace Lab) camera for in vivo luminescence and fluorescence imaging.
The PARCC PIV platform comprises three distinct and complementary sub-platforms:
