MicroPET-, MicroSPECT- and MicroCT-Scanner

Together with and as partner in the national consortium, Danish BioImaging (DBI), DTU has received funding from the Danish roadmap for Research Infrastructure to build an open access platform - danish bioimaging infrastructure, referred to as DBI-infra. DBI-infra consists of bio-imaging facilities located at Danish universities, research institutions and supported by commercial companies. It covers a broad range of imaging groups from microscopy- to preclinical- and image computing groups with an interest in developing and providing bioimaging as a tool for life science. We, the Translational bioImaging Center (TIC) hosted by institute for Health Technology at the Danish Technical University, are specifically in this context looking to extending our small animal bioimaging capabilities to include radiochemistry and radionuclide imaging and radionuclie therapy. This Request is thus made on behalf of TIC. As member of DBI-infra we will develop the new infrastructure as open access and invite all types of collaborations from the public sector, academia, and the private sector. And we will support innovation and provide commercial access. The principles behind the DBI consortium and now the open access DBI-infra collaboration that we work from are: - share knowledge and best practice within the BioImaging community - promote the development of new bioimaging applications - facilitate the mobility of students, core facility staff and researchers between bioimaging institutions - ensure access to state-of-the-art research infrastructures and advanced bioimaging techniques - promote innovation and collaboration with the industry. With the specific investment in a radiochemistry-bioimaging facility, TIC, aims to further strengthen technical developments at DTU and national and international collaboration with academic and commercial groups for research, innovation, and teaching.
