Notre Dame Integrated Imaging Facility
IV Instruments and Services
The In Vivo Imaging Facility provides a non-invasive approach to observe various disease and biological models in living systems. Our state-of-the-art instrumentation enables the detection of optical or nuclear signals to facilitate a number of applications. We can detect luminescent genetic reporters (luciferase, GFP, RFP, β-gal, etc.) and fluorescent probes ranging from green to near infrared. We also offer planar X-ray or X-ray CT (3D) for digital radiographic imaging of various types of specimens. Finally, we can detect radioactive PET and SPECT probes for tomographic nuclear imaging of a number of disease states.
Our goal is to train and empower users to independently utilize the facility and its resources. Contact the Managing Director, Dr. W. Matthew Leevy (wleevy@nd.edu), for training, consultation, and/or experimental service.
