Ved kjernefasiliteten Molecular Imaging Center (MIC) ved Institutt for Biomedisin tilbyr vi bl.a smådyrs PET/CT og MRI avbilding. PET/CT fasiliteten holder til på PET-senteret i Parkbygget på Haukeland Universitetssjukehus. I tillegg til smådyrs PET/CT scanner har vi en fullt utstyrt kjemilab med bl.a hotceller, HPLC og gammateller, eget dyrerom og tilgang til flere tracere for preklinisk avbilding. Vi samarbeider med kjemikere på PET-senteret som kan produsere et variert utvalg av tracere basert på produksjon av 18F og 11C fra egen syklotron.

PET/CT scanneren er en nanoScan PET/CT fra Mediso, installert i 2013. PET systemet har en oppløsning på 0.7 mm og en field of view (FOV) på 10 cm som bl.a muliggjør scanning av helkropps mus. Vi har også muligheter for scanning av to mus samtidig i en dobbelseng, noe som er meget tidsbesparende.  CT systemet kan levere opptil 80 W og 1 mA, og har en zoom på inntil 7.6X som kan gi en oppløsning helt ned til 10 µm.

Vi har flest prosjekter innen onkologi, men også prosjekter på dyremodeller, fysiologi og fysikk.
