Imaging & Nondestructive Testing

The CT Center at Penn Medicine offers advanced imaging and nondestructive testing (NDT) services for research,  and industrial applications. Using state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) technology, we capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images that reveal internal structures without altering or damaging the object.

Our facility supports a wide range of projects — from biomedical and preclinical research to engineering, materials science, archaeology, and industrial analysis. Whether studying biological specimens, manufactured components, or cultural artifacts, our team provides precision imaging that enables detailed visualization, dimensional measurement, and quantitative assessment.

We welcome both internal Penn investigators and external collaborators seeking access to advanced CT imaging capabilities. Every project benefits from expert consultation, optimized scan protocols, and secure data delivery tailored to specific research or testing needs.
