SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING SHARED RESOURCE

小动物影像共享资源是VICC中的新内容。致力于为活体小动物的无创成像提供科学技术支撑。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。活体成像在肿瘤生物学研究中是一种有价值的重要工具，特别是在大鼠和小鼠模型中，从完整的动物身上可以无创地获得各种解剖、生理、病理和代谢信息。约翰·C·戈尔博士是资源主任，在致力于开发新的和改进的成像方法及其应用的专家团队的帮助下促进研究人员的研究；用于动物准备和监测的实验室空间；用于图像分析和处理的计算共享资源；以及用于开发仪器和其他技术支持的电子研讨会。戈尔博士有 拥有多年的定向成像研究设施，并保持着积极的研究计划，开发和应用癌症和其他领域的成像方法。共享资源的教职员工精通成像科学的不同方面，随时准备协助VICC调查人员。

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.
