PIF - about us
The Preclinical Imaging Core Facility (PIF), located on the Flemingsberg Campus, is a part of the preclinical laboratory (PKL, FoUU) and functions as a center for small animal imaging. PIF provides imaging equipment and support concerning experimental design, choosing the optimal imaging methods and data analysis.
PIF aims to offer a "One-Stop" complete multimodal imaging for small animals. We are the only facility at KI/RS that covers almost all preclinical imaging modalities within the same barrier, which enables researchers to use the new concept of multimodal imaging without moving animals between different animal facilities. At the same time, PIF encourages researchers to apply the 3Rs principles in their experiments. Following the biological process by repeated measurements within the same animal, reduces the inter- and intra-individual variability, reduces the number of animals used and minimizes the costs of the studies.
