ALERT

ATTENTION ⚠️

Some institutions were affected last week with having their billing files sent from iLab to their financial system. This has been resolved and files were sent, as one, from iLab to the institution financial system over the weekend. Going forward, files will post as normal, during the regular times that were built with your custom financial integration. If there are any issues with your billng file, open a new help ticket, by clicking on Help at the top right of your account page or by emailing ilab-support@agilent.com.

Molecular Imaging Core

Overview of Services

The Molecular Imaging Core provides comprehensive services for non-invasive imaging with a 7 Tm Magnetic Resonance Imager (MRI) and a MicroPET (Positron Emission Tomography). These instruments can be used to image small animals, biological tissues, phantoms, appendages of human subjects, and many other samples. An on-site cyclotron and a fully staffed radiochemistry laboratory provide a wide range of standard radiolabeled PET imaging probes and can help develop and produce custom probes.

SERVICES
• Consultation on development of imaging protocol(s) – the Core has basic PET and MRI protocols that can be customized to meet each investigator’s needs. Master Research Agreements with Philips and Siemens expands the Core’s imaging expertise. The same imaging protocols used in the Clinic can be done on animals with the Core’s equipment, making the Core a valuable translational research tool.
• Assistance with Experimental Design
• IACUC submission(s) assistance
• Assistance with developing experimental, animal models or fee-for-service surgery etc. to prepare animals for your experiments
• Animal preparation and monitoring prior to and during imaging
• Image Analysis Laboratory - equipped for computer-based, quantitative analyses of images obtained with the 7 T MRI and MicroPET; and for images obtained with other devices at UAMS (VisualSonics, IVIS, etc.)
