Group Description
Göteborg University established a core facility (Center for Bio-Imaging, CBI) for the imaging of small rodents. The unit is equipped with state-of the-art systems to acquire images in high spatial and temporal resolution. Currently available are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS, Bruker 7, multichannel), ultrasound (US, ATL HDI 5000 SonoCT), computer tomography (CT, XCT Research M), double energy X-ray absorption (DEXA, pDEXA Sabre®) and a gamma camera (GE systems, modified). All systems are adapted for the in-vivo use in small animals. The image modalities at CBI serve as infrastructure for research groups from different universities in Sweden (Lund, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Uppsala, Umeĺ) and enable them to perform non-invasive investigation of genetically engineered animals.
