Abstract:

This project was to request the purchase of a Bruker Albira PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography) imaging system and any additional support equipment and materials to establish a nuclear medicine research core facility to complement the existing small animal MRI and optical imaging facility at Howard University. This new imaging core facility would support faculty research and student training at Howard University as well as at other HBCUs. The Bruker Albira PET/CT machine integrates the high detection sensitivity of PET function with a high-resolution feature of micro-CT. It can produce structural images of high resolution and quantitatively image physiochemical and biomedical processes. This highly versatile imaging system is able to integrate into our current biomedical, mechanical, and physical research workflow for a wide-range of applications in nanotechnology, biomedicine, physical sciences, and engineering.
