The P30 Imaging Core is comprised of. Microscopic Imaging (Ml) and Functional Neurolmaging (FNI) components. The main goal of this Core is to integrate the material and human resources utilized by 17 individual NIH investigators at the University of Washington. This Core facilitates completion of funded research projects, forges collaboration among scientists, and stimulates novel scientific approaches. While research topics and scientific approaches used by these investigators are highly diverse, the tools they implement converge into two general categories. First, thirteen investigators (Ml component) rely on the ability to visualize and analyze microscopic images from non-human subjects to elucidate gross and fine structure, and molecular and functional attributes of tissues. A Staff Scientist serves to train participants on the effective use of existing instruments and software, to generate tools for new imaging needs, to maintain operation of imaging equipment, and to manage operation of the imaging facility. Second, four investigators (FNI component) use functional neuroimaging to test their hypotheses about human brain structure and function. A second Staff Scientist is employed to learn about current tools integrating fMRI data within 3-D anatomical brain models, to expand tools under development at the University of Washington for integrating fMRI data with other nervous system-derived data (ERP, MEG, FMRS), and to train users on Web-based tools for archiving and sharing digital images. The P30 Imaging Core increases efficiency and productivity of ongoing research at the University of Washington. Further, it provides a mechanism for investigators to apply modern imaging tools to their research.

P30成像核心由以下部分组成。显微成像(ML)和功能神经成像(FNI)组件。这个核心的主要目标是整合华盛顿大学17名NIH研究人员所使用的物质和人力资源。这一核心促进了资助研究项目的完成，促进了科学家之间的合作，并促进了新的科学方法。虽然这些研究人员使用的研究主题和科学方法非常不同，但他们使用的工具集中在两个大类。首先，13名研究人员(ML部分)依靠可视化和分析来自非人类受试者的显微图像的能力来阐明组织的粗略和精细结构以及分子和功能属性。一名工作人员科学家负责培训参与者 有效利用现有仪器和软件，为新的成像需求生成工具，维持成像设备的运行，并管理成像设施的运行。其次，四名研究人员(FNI部分)使用功能神经成像来验证他们关于人脑结构和功能的假设。雇用了第二名工作人员科学家，以了解目前将功能磁共振数据集成到3D解剖大脑模型中的工具，扩展华盛顿大学正在开发的用于将功能磁共振数据与其他神经系统衍生数据(ERP、MEG、FMRS)相结合的工具，并就基于网络的工具对用户进行培训，以存档和共享数字图像。P30成像核心提高了华盛顿大学正在进行的研究的效率和生产力。此外，它还为研究人员提供了一种将现代成像工具应用于他们的研究的机制。
