We are truly unique in high-resolution imaging research, since we have five microscopic imaging systems that sit next to each other in our labs, ready to be used.
* These five micro-imaging systems, with spatial resolutions ranging from a fraction of µm to tens of µm, can produce complementary information for the same specimen system.
* We know each instrument thoroughly and have developed quantitative protocols on each system.
* All imaging systems are located on the same floor of the same building (Hannah Hall).
µMRI provides an ideal interface with clinical MRI, since both are based on the same physics principles and both share the same engineering architectures.
µCT and clinical CT are based on the same physics principles and share the same engineering architectures. This system enables us to study the interface between cartilage and bone.
