Small Animal Imaging Core

小动物多模态成像核心（SAMMIC）专门用于完整成像 小动物，特别是老鼠。有一个明确的需要，在体内评估 使用非侵入性成像技术的基因改变和荷瘤小鼠。SAMMIC提供 癌症研究人员拥有广泛的成像技术，包括磁共振成像， 光谱学、双模态X射线和伽马成像、微正电子发射断层扫描（MicroPET）， 生物发光和荧光成像，图像处理硬件和软件，以及化学实验室 用于生产定制成像剂。此外，SAMMIC工作人员由各自领域的专家组成 各自领域，协助研究人员设计和执行涉及小动物的实验 显像

The Small Animal MultiModality Imaging Core (SAMMIC) has been set up specifically for imaging intact small animals, in particular mice and rats. There was an expressed need for in vivo assessment of genetically altered and tumor-bearing mice using noninvasive imaging techniques. The SAMMIC provides cancer investigators with a wide range of imaging technologies, including magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy, dual modality X-Ray and gamma imaging, micro positron emission tomography (MicroPET), bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging, image processing hardware and software, and a chemistry lab for the production of custom imaging agents. In addition, the SAMMIC staff, consisting of experts in their respective fields, assists investigators with the design and execution of experiments involving small animal imaging.
