The Small Animal Imaging Shared Resource is new within the VICC. It is dedicated to providing scientific and technical support for non-invasive imaging of small animals in vivo. The equipment and personnel necessary for this Shared Resource are provided by the Center for Small Animal Imaging, which was created at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as part of the newly-formed Vanderbilt Institute of Imaging Science. The use of in vivo imaging is a valuable and essential tool in diverse studies of tumor biology, especially in rat and mouse models, and a variety of anatomic, physiologic, pathologic and metabolic information can be obtained non-invasively from intact animals in series studies. Dr. John C. Gore is the Resource Director and facilitates investigators' research with the help of an expert staff dedicated to developing new and improved imaging methods and their applications; laboratory spaces for animal preparation and monitoring; computing Shared Resources for image analysis and processing; and an electronics workshop for development of instrumentation and other technical support. Dr. Gore has directed imaging research facilities for many years, and maintains an active research program developing and applying imaging methods in cancer and other areas. The faculty and staff of the Shared Resource are expert in different aspects of imaging science and stand ready to assist VICC investigators.

小动物成像共享资源是VICC中的新内容。致力于为小动物活体无创成像提供科学技术支撑。该共享资源所需的设备和人员由小动物成像中心提供，该中心是在范德比尔特大学医学中心创建的，是新成立的范德比尔特成像科学研究所的一部分。在肿瘤生物学的各种研究中，特别是在大鼠和小鼠模型中，体内成像的使用是一种有价值的和必不可少的工具，并且可以在系列研究中从完整动物非侵入性地获得各种解剖、生理、病理和代谢信息。John C.戈尔是资源总监，并促进研究人员的研究与专家工作人员的帮助下，致力于开发新的和改进的成像方法及其应用;实验室空间的动物准备和监测;计算共享资源的图像分析和处理;和电子车间的仪器和其他技术支持的发展。戈尔博士 多年来一直指导成像研究设施，并保持着积极的研究计划，在癌症和其他领域开发和应用成像方法。共享资源的教师和工作人员是成像科学不同方面的专家，并随时准备协助VICC调查人员。
