Multomodal preclinical imaging center equipped with following in vivo imaging modalities for small laboratory animals: CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, fluorescence, luminescence , Cherenkov radiation, MPI. All these methods can be combined on one anesthetized animal and the images can be merged. Image cytometer is available for cytometry and morphology analysis of cell populations.
