The Imaging SRF provides routine technical support services and operates a programme of advanced method development in order to optimise the use of the imaging facility.
State-of-the art-imaging research and service platforms for in vivo study of disease models.
Combining the expertise of 7 biological, physical and engineering research scientists with a wide range of imaging scanners and radiotherapy systems, our group provides a comprehensive and optimised range of research services and biological applications.
Located within our Biomedical Services Unit, the facility is equipped with MRI, PET, SPECT, X-ray CT, luminescence and ultrasound imaging and radiotherapy systems.
Supporting both academic and industrial research, the Group operates within the Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology and the Department of Oncology at the University of Oxford.
The facility is superbly equipped with state-of-the-art systems, which have been significantly customised in-house.
