The Western Australian Small Animal Imaging facility will provide wide access for the West Australian research community to a multimodality functional and dynamic core bioimaging facility to characterise in-vivo animal models, including extensive postgraduate research training. Wide-ranging research outcomes of national and community benefit include imaging tumour development, bone metabolism (osteoporosis), neural function (Alzheimer's disease) and regeneration, and infection mechanisms in live animals, which will result in improvements in human health. Imaging and monitoring coral growth, fish age, and soil structure will improve the economics and sustainability of Australia's marine ecosystems and agricultural food production.

西澳大利亚小动物成像设施将为西澳大利亚研究界提供广泛的通道，以多模态功能和动态的核心生物成像设施来表征体内动物模型，包括广泛的研究生研究培训。有益于国家和社区的广泛研究成果包括成像肿瘤发展、骨代谢（骨质疏松症）、神经功能（阿尔茨海默病）和再生，以及活体动物的感染机制，这将导致人类健康的改善。对珊瑚生长、鱼龄和土壤结构进行成像和监测将改善澳大利亚海洋生态系统和农业粮食生产的经济性和可持续性。
