Magnetic Resonance Micro-Imaging

Magnetic resonance image of an MIS-Tag mouse injected with Gd-DTPA.  The ovaries are circled .

High resolution anatomic imaging of tumors and other anatomical structures in mice.

Bioluminescence and Fluorescence imaging

Luciferase expressing tumors detected with Bioluminescence imaging

In vivo measurement of the signals from bioluminescent or fluorescence probes in mice.

Fluorescence Molecular Tomography

Polyps in the mouse colon detected endoscopically

In-vivo quantitative reconstruction in  three dimensions of the distribution of biologically targeted infrared fluorphores.

Mouse Endoscopy

Polyps in the mouse colon detected endoscopically

Provides for the detection and serial imaging of polyps in a mouse model for colon cancer.

Human Functional Brain Imaging

Human fMRI- showing functional activation in the visual cortex due to visual stimulation.

Measure the regions of activation in the human brain when performing specific tasks. Used for behavioral studies.
