Imaging Core

Advancing Research Through Cutting-Edge Imaging Technologies

The MMRI Imaging Core was developed to facilitate in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo imaging of experimental disease models. The Imaging Core facility is a fully staffed core facility that functions as a user laboratory and an all-inclusive service core. The Imaging Core enables access to state-of-the-art light, ultrasonic, x-ray and fluorescence imaging instruments. Complementing image capture, the core also houses and maintains image dataset storage servers, analysis and visualization software.
