Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science (VUIIS)<\/h3>\n

\"VUIIS_small\"The VUIIS<\/a> is a trans-institutional initiative that brings together\u00a0physicians, scientists, students and corporate affiliates to advance the science and technology of\u00a0in vivo<\/em> imaging and to apply this technology to improve the understanding of human biology and health. The VUIIS operates state-of-the-art facilities for imaging research, including centers for\u00a0molecular probe development<\/a>, small animal imaging<\/a>,\u00a0human\u00a0imaging<\/a>, and computational imaging<\/a>.\u00a0 The principal human imaging resources that we use in our studies include two 3T Philips Intera MR imager\/spectrometers, a 7T Philips Achieva MR imager\/spectrometer, and a Philips Epiq 7 human ultrasound scanner. Through partnerships with\u00a0academic programs in biomedical engineering<\/a>, chemical and physical biology<\/a>, chemistry<\/a>, physics<\/a>, and other disciplines, the VUIIS also provides an exemplary training environment for postdoctoral fellows, graduate and medical students, and undergraduates.<\/p>\n
