Instruments at SAMI

SAMI is equipped with one Mediso nanoScan PET/MRI and two nanoScan PET/CT multimodal small animal imaging systems, comprising 3 PET modules (spatial resolution 0.8mm) a 1T static MRI module (spatial resolution <100 µm), and a CT module (min. voxel size: 10-34 µm):

- PET – Highest PET resolution (using the industry’s most advanced pixelated modular LYSO detectors), high count rate tolerance supporting high activity studies of multiple animals or short half-life isotopes. Easy access to the animal from both the front and the back.
- CT – Possibility for low dose, high resolution and high speed CT with real time reconstruction for high throughput experiments. Easy access to the animal from both the front and the back.
- 1T MRI – High soft tissue contrast in a compact system with high-performance magnet that is optimized to perform fast routine studies.
