Small Animal Imaging

小动物影像共享资源 小动物成像共享资源提供最先进的活体分子成像功能 给坎摩尔癌症中心的调查人员。它是在马修博士的指导下建立的 到目前为止，塔库尔在2004年4月得到了托马斯·杰斐逊大学和教育部的支持 放射学。该资源提供非侵入性小动物成像，包括PET、SPECT、CT和超声波。 这些模式为研究提供了创新的基础研究能力和临床前翻译研究能力 癌症的病理生理学和发病机制。除了提供全面的影像服务外， A)定制合成特定于目标生物标记的探针；b)开发新形象 产生和分析技术；以及c)培训癌症研究人员利用分子的力量 成像。该设施由三个AALAC认证的动物收容所和两名兽医工作人员提供支持 会员。到目前为止，这一共享资源已经支持了15项联邦资助的调查，这些调查涉及 肿瘤学和提高生产力，如同行评议期刊上的几篇文章所描述的那样。

SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING SHARED RESOURCE The Small Animal Imaging Shared Resource provides state-of-the-art in vivo molecular imaging capabilities to the investigators of the Kimmel Cancer Center. It was established under the direction of Dr. Mathew Thakur in April 2004 supported, to date, by the Thomas Jefferson University and the Department of Radiology. This resource provides non-invasive small animal imaging, with PET, SPECT, CT and ultrasound. These modalities offer innovative basic, as well as pre-clinical translational, research capabilities for studying patho-physiology and genesis of cancer. In addition to providing comprehensive imaging services the expertise exists to a) custom synthesize probes specific for targeted bio-markers; b) develop new image generation and analysis techniques; and c) train cancer investigators to harness the strengths of molecular imaging. The facility is supported by three AALAC accredited animal houses and two veterinarian staff members. Thus far this shared resource has supported fifteen federally funded investigations related to oncology and enhanced productivity as depicted by several publications in peer-reviewed journals.
