The small animal imaging core facility is a collaboration between SDU and the Department of Nuclear Medicine at OUH. It has existed since 2011, when our Siemens Inveon SPECT/CT and PET systems were installed. We specialize in in vivo translational imaging, from cancer theranostics to heart function and neuronal functional connectivity, as well as 4D image analysis and pharmacokinetic modelling.
