The Small Animal Imaging Facility supports translational and basic research programs by providing users access to a variety of high-end in vivo and ex vivo imaging instruments.
Located within the SAHMRI Bioresources Facility, a specific pathogen-free PC2 facility, researchers can utilise multiple imaging modalities in a single longitudinal study. The facility includes nuclear molecular imaging (PET/SPECT), optical imaging (bioluminescence, fluorescence and Cerenkov), microCT, MRI, body composition analyser in awake animal (EchoMRI) plus image processing and analysis. Our staff provide comprehensive hands-on training on image acquisition and data analysis, and expert advice on experimental design, project development, grant and animal ethics applications.
