Overview of Services

The Stanford Center for Innovation in In vivo Imaging (SCi³) is a Stanford University service center that provides access to state-of-the-art, first-of-its-kind preclinical imaging technologies to the Stanford research community. The instruments range from systems typically found in a clinical setting, but scaled for rodent usage (such as MRI, PET, CT and ultrasound), optical systems for measuring bioluminescence, fluorescence, and Cherenkov light (IVIS, Ami, Lago and Maestro systems), new modalities (MPI and photoacoustic), as well as access to advanced image analysis software, computer workstations, and surgical preparation areas. Scientists are trained to use instruments independently and can schedule studies around-the-clock as needed.

Mailing list: Updates on instrument availabilty, training etc. are posted on the SCi³ email list - please subscribe at https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/sci3_users 

Publications: If work done with this Service Center produces data resulting in a figure in a publication, you are required to acknowledge the Service Center ("Stanford Center for Innovations in In vivo Imaging (SCi³) - small animal imaging center") in the publication. If staff members of the center provided significant experimental design, data interpretation, or other intellectual contribution (as evaluated by the PI), then it is expected that these individuals will be co-authors on the publication.
