In late 1998, the Cancer Center integrated two Core Grant-funded Shared Resources (Imaging Facility and Confocal Microscopy Core) with a School of Medicine-supported Electron Microscopy Core, which continues to be a part of a long-standing NIH-funded Diabetes and Endocrinology Research Center. The goal of the reorganization and redefinition of these cores was to create a more cost-effective, highly utilized, state-of-the-art Shared Resource. This new, reorganized and expanded facility has been named "Biomedical Imaging Core." The Biomedical Imaging Core is directed by Leonard Jarett, MD, who served as Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine for 18 years until stepping down in 1998. Dr. Jarett founded and has directed the Electron Microscopy Core for nearly twenty years. Given the technologically advanced equipment which has been acquired through non-Core Grant funds as well as the expert capabilities of the Facility and Technical Directors and staff, the Cancer Center believes that the new, reorganized Biomedical Imaging Core will be an important NCI-funded Shared Resource during the nest project period. Based on a survey to Cancer Center members, there is significant demand for the services that will be offered. This survey gave further evidence to the Executive Committee that the reorganized core will provide important resources and services that are needed to support the innovative research projects conducted by a significant number of Cancer Center members. It is projected that usage by Cancer Center members with peer reviewed funding will be 40% of total usage. Usage by all Cancer Center members is expected to be 50% of total usage.

1998年底，癌症中心将两个核心赠款资助的共享资源(成像设备和共焦显微镜核心)与医学院支持的电子显微镜核心整合在一起，该核心仍然是由NIH资助的长期糖尿病和内分泌学研究中心的一部分。重组和重新定义这些核心的目标是创造一个成本效益更高、利用率更高、最先进的共享资源。这个新的、重组和扩大的设施已被命名为“生物医学成像核心”。生物医学成像核心由伦纳德·贾雷特(Leonard Jarett)领导，他曾担任病理学和实验室医学主席18年，直到1998年卸任。Jarett博士创立并指导了电子显微镜核心近20年。鉴于通过非核心赠款基金获得的技术先进的设备，以及设施和技术主管和工作人员的专家能力，癌症中心相信，新的、重组的生物医学成像核心将是NCI在Nest项目期间资助的重要共享资源。根据对癌症中心成员的调查，对将提供的服务有很大的需求。这项调查向执行委员会提供了进一步的证据，表明重组后的核心将提供必要的重要资源和服务，以支持由大量癌症中心成员开展的创新研究项目。据预测，癌症中心成员使用同行评审资金的使用量将占总使用量的40%。所有癌症中心成员的使用量预计将占总使用量的50%。
