Animal Imaging and Irradiation Shared Resource (RRID: SCR_021980)

The major goal of the small animal imaging program is the establishment of novel imaging approaches to cancer, inflammation, developmental therapeutics using animal models and pharmacodynamic endpoints. State-of-the-art imaging facilities are extremely expensive and require advanced technical personnel. All equipment maintenance, protocol development, quality controls, as well as assistance provided to users of the resource is performed by Natalie Serkova, PhD (Core Director) and Jenna Steiner, AAS, CVT (Core Manager).

• For all MRI-based animal studies, please acknowledge the NIH high-end shared instrumentation grant S10OD023485
• For all BLI/FLI/CT animal studies, please acknowledge the NIH SIFAR shared instrumentation grant S10OD027023
• Please link our AISR Core Research Resource Identification (RRID): University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Cancer Center Animal Imaging Shared Resource Core Facility (RRID:SCR_021980) . When submitting your publication(s) to PubMed Central, please ensure to link the grants to your manuscript and that your publication links to these grants in your NIHreporter.

Our equipment can only accommodate small rodents and our imaging services are for research purposes only. Unfortunately, we cannot perform imaging on companion animals, such as cats and dogs.
