Large Animal Imaging Facility (LAIF)

The goal of the Large Animal Imaging Facility is to advance and facilitate large animal research with an emphasis on imaging.  Another objective is to facilitate the translation from animal imaging studies to human imaging studies. We will enable/assist the Investigator in navigating through the processes to gain access and support inside the Radiology Department.

Participation is open to all large animal research groups. Two options for participation are active membership and ad hoc. Active members are involved in governance and issue resolution.  Ad hoc group can interact with the user group on an as-needed basis.
