SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING RESEARCH PROGRAM

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 小动物成像研究计划在UT西南提供关键的基础设施，以促进小动物癌症成像。自成立以来，SW-SAIRP已支持五种模式的成像- MRI，PET，生物发光，荧光和荧光成像。如下文所述，这些能力已得到加强和扩大。SW-SAIRP研究人员和支持人员就成像方案的制定和成像研究的最佳实施提供建议，以加强癌症研究。支持合成和放射性标记，以生成未用于成像研究的市售材料。研究人员的经验和成像基础设施的可用性旨在为UT Southwestern和周边机构（包括学术中心和行业）的研究人员扩大成像机会。通过年度专题讨论会、定期研讨会以及参加区域和国际讲习班和会议，产生了新的互动。 我们在小动物研究、肿瘤植入、麻醉和数据评估方面拥有丰富的经验。此外，我们可以提供生物发光成像来评估肿瘤生长。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Small Animal Imaging Research Program at UT Southwestern provides critical infrastructure to facilitate small animal cancer imaging. Since inception, the SW-SAIRP has supported imaging in five modalities- MRI, PET, bioluminescence, fluorescence, and ¿-scintigraphy. As described below, these capabilities have been enhanced and expanded. SW-SAIRP investigators and support personnel advise on development of imaging protocols and optimal implementation of imaging investigations to enhance cancer research. Synthesis and radiolabeling are supported to generate materials not commercially available for imaging investigations. The experience of the investigators and availability of imaging infrastructure are designed to expand imaging opportunities for investigators at UT Southwestern and surrounding institutions, including academic centers and industry. New interactions are generated through an annual symposium, regular seminars, and participation in regional and international workshops and conferences. We have extensive experience in small animal research, tumor implantation, anesthesia and data evaluation. In addition, we can provide bioluminescence imaging to evaluate tumor growth.
