Hands-on!

4^th Mouse Imaging Academy – MIA

November 11^th to 15^th, 2013 at the University of Münster

Flyer 2013

Our interdisciplinary team invites you to join our training course on state-of-the-art imaging of mice. We will introduce you into a broad spectrum of dedicated imaging technologies including μPET/μSPECT, μCT, μMRI, mouse ultrasound and optical imaging. A special emphasis is on specific in-depth practical training sessions (hands-on with four participants max.) and interactive imaging data analysis at our training and demonstration facility (VisualLab). Each participant will work with animal models, apply various imaging modalities and explore multimodal image data sets.

Individuals with experience in small animal imaging as well as beginners are welcome to join our workshop.

The workshop is accredited as Modul III "specific in-depths practical training" of the international "Curriculum Preclinical Imaging in Small Laboratory Animals – PRIMA". CME credit points will be applied for from the Medical Association.

Topics

• Animal handling: i.v./i.p. intjection, tail vein catheter, anaesthesia, surgery
• μPET/μSPECT: static and dynamic scanning, CT fusion
• μCT: in vivo scans +/- contrast agents, respriatory gating
• μMRI: in vivo scans +/- contrast agents, cardiac & respiratory gating
• Ultrasound: hands-on scanning +/- contrast agents
• Optical imaging: flurescence, bioluminescence
• Multimodal Imaging: PET/CT, PET/MRI, SPECT/CT
• Image analysis: methods, coregistration, quantification (Visual Lab)

Please note: Large portions of the workshop are held in radiation and/or gene technology safety areas where access for pregnant women is not permitted!
