Imaging System to Help Understanding of Disease Progression

摘要

A pre-clinical 3T PET-MR imaging system has been installed by MR Solutions at Western University's ImPaKT Laboratory in Ontario.The ImPaKT facility is a one-of-kind facility combining PHAC certified containment level standards(CL2+ and CL3)with advanced in barrier enclosed vivo imaging modalities.These allow researchers to safely develop tools and methods to better understand the progression of infectious diseases,identify efficacious antimicrobial agents,develop diagnostic reagents to characterise hidden reservoirs of pathogens and for the early and accurate detection of infections.
