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. A tour of the Center for In Vivo Microscopy educates visitors about the principles of MRI, animal-use protocols, and current research issues. Demonstrations of animal preparation stress animal care policies and the value of animal models for research purposes. Over this last year, short tours were given, as well as more extended training sessions about how to operate the MR systems, build RF coils, monitor and support small animals, and use our visualization tools. A list of visitors is included below: July 21, 2005: Jack Skinner (Fellow, Duke Biomedical Engineering) interested in Medical Physics program, tour of center. August 1, 2005: Tour of center for Drs. Terrance Hawk (King of Prussia facility) and Ana Criado (Verona, Italy facility) from GlaxoSmithKline, particularly interested in our animal handling procedures. August 15-18, 2005: Ryan Nicholas Mello, graduate of Duke Medical Physics program; job shadowing to see applications of medical physics to small animal imaging. September 22, 2005: Duke Biomedical Engineering student society--30 freshmen; tour of center with special emphasis on MR, micro-CT/DSA, software demonstrations with neurological and embryo imaging. October 7, 2005: Physics professor Brain Saam, Phd (Associate Professor, Physics, University of Utah) presented at the Duke University Nuclear Physics Seminar on advances in the polarization of 3He for imaging alligator and bird lungs; tour of center with emphasis on hyperpolarization equipment and applications.
