NAME

Unidad de Imagen Molecular – CIC biomaGUNE

DESCRIPTION

La Unidad de Imagen Molecular ofrece recursos de imagen nuclear de última generación en tomografía por emisión de Positron (PET), tomografía computarizada de emisión de fotones único (SPECT), tomografía computarizada (TC), resonancia magnética (RM) con un animalario inegrado para realizar pruebas preclínicas en animales de diferentes formulaciones y dispositivos implantables, y desarrollo de agentes de contraste.

El uso de moléculas radiomarcadas y agentes de contraste de RMN permite realizar pruebas metabólicas y ADME (adsorción, distribución, metabolismo y excreción) en roedores por PET y RMN.

MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS

The Animal Platform is accredited by AAALAC, has the capacity to house up to 800 rodents (mouse and rat) and performs comprehensive monitoring of animal welfare during procedures.

Equipped with a high performance 9 cm I.D. (750 mT/m switchable within 100 µs) interfaced to a Bruker AVANCE III console. The console is configured with full imaging capabilities: 4 RF transmitters, one broadband RF transmitter and 8 RF receivers. Dedicated RF-coils of different sizes for optimized rat brain, mouse brain, rat heart/body and mouse heart/body are available and includes state-of-the- art phase array assemblies. Additional RF volume/surface coils to perform 13C, 19F and 31P MRS are also available. A MR compatible holder and SAII Model 1030 Monitoring & Gating System (Small Animal Instruments Inc) is used to monitor the animal during the imaging session. 16 cm Zero boil off horizontal bore magnet.

Magnetic resonance spectrometer of temporal domine for the acquisition of temporary constant T1 and T1. Magnetic field 1.4 Teslas. Working frequency 60 MHz.

Particle accelerator for the generation of Positron emitting isotopes.
The cyclotron is capable to accelerate protons and deuterons to nominal energies of 18 and 9 MeV, respectively.
It is equipped with seven targets for the routine production of [18F]F-, [18F]F2, [13N]NH4+, [15O]O2, [11C]CO2 and [11C]CH4.
A solid target, suitable to produce other positron emitters such as 89Zr or 64Cu is also available.

The system comprises of three scanners to deliver multi-modal data, which are co registered automatically.
1) a high-performance preclinical PET imager (β-CUBE)
2) a high-sensitive, high-resolution SPECT imager (γ-CUBE)
3) a high-throughput CT scanner (X-CUBE)
