Generate Robust Data with SAIF Imaging Modalities

The Small Animal Imaging Facility (SAIF) Core provides a wide range of tools for all researchers working to discover the fundamental cause of human diseases and the development of novel therapies.

The SAIF staff is available to discuss the capabilities of imaging modalities that are available:
• The FUJIFILM VisualSonics Vevo 3100 is an advanced ultrasound machine that enables the quantitative measurement of all functional parameters of the heart (e.g., injection function and blood flow).

• The Bruker PharmaScan 7T for magnetic resonance imaging provides the opportunity to measure anatomical parameters and obtain functional information. For example, researchers can compare the perfusion in a normal brain versus one with a tumor.
• An IVIS Spectrum optical scanner enables researchers to investigate a wide variety of cancers and immunotherapies.
• The Siemens Inveon positron emission tomography/computed tomography scanner is available for the investigation of neurodegenerative disorders. It is also an effective readout for monitoring gene therapy.

The SAIF can help you generate in vivo data for your journal submissions. We also help format the images for your publication.
