Multimodal Imaging Core (Z03)

• Subject Area: Medicine
• Term: from 2009 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 68647618

Subproject Z3 is set up to provide support for nuclear, fluorescence, optoacoustic and preclinical MR imaging within the SFB projects. Besides providing state-of-the-art instrumentation, Z3 constantly strives for expanding applications and improving multimodal imaging. In the future, Z3 will focus on three main areas: multimodality imaging using PET/MRI, utilization of hyperpolarized compounds in MRSI and application of fluorescence and optoacoustic methods for functional and molecular imaging. This core activity is already in frequent use by a number of SFB projects will continue to expand in the future.
