About us

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.

Christina Baun

Christina Baun is our dedicated research radiographer and daily lab manager with extensive experience with the technical imaging methods of PET, SPECT and CT, animal handling and experimental procedures.

Mikael Palner

Mikael Palner is head of the Core facility; he is a specialist in preclinical PET and SPECT imaging, image analysis, and kinetic modelling.

Fróði Gregersen

Fróði Gregersen is our MR scientist specializing in MR acquisition methods and processing of advanced MR data.

 

All new projects are initiated through a joint meeting with the core facility team to discuss study design, imaging protocols and methodological considerations.

We are located in the rodent animal facility at the Biomedical Laboratory at SDU.
