Preclinical Imaging

OverviewEquipmentExpertiseResourcesVirtual Tour

The Preclinical Imaging Facility provides users access to a variety of high-end in vivo and ex vivo imaging instruments.

Located within TRI’s Biological Resources Facility (BRF), a specific pathogen-free PC2 facility, researchers can utilise multiple imaging modalities in a single longitudinal study. High resolution imaging of clinical samples or other materials is also possible on some equipment.

The Preclinical Imaging Facility is also home to Queensland’s first preclinical image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) system. It also supports radionuclide therapy studies (preclinical and clinical).

Training

The Preclinical Imaging (PreClin) Facility provides bespoke one-on-one training on image acquisition and data analysis. Please contact the team who will organise an in-person meeting to discuss your imaging requirements.

Researchers should engage with the PreClin team as early as possible, even before submitting animal ethics applications, to ensure the imaging experiments are appropriately designed, costed, and assessed for overall feasibility. The PreClin team are here to support researchers throughout the experimental journey.
