The Core Facility Small Animal Imaging is a member of the Centre for Translational Imaging - From Molecule to Man (MoMAN) that coordinates imaging activities among different researchs units at Ulm University and Medical Center. The Core Facility has a dedicated high-field small animal MRI system with a field strength of 11.7T. The MRI system is suitable for non-invasive investigations on mice and rats. Investigations on larger animals can be performed on a 3T research MRI. If required, it is possible to perform in cooperation with other institutes multimodal imaging studies.

The Facility provides expertise in the field of non-invasive imaging, data analysis and interpretation, experiment design and execution and application.
