Micro PET
(positron emission tomography)

The Nuclear Medicine Service has a high resolution positron emission tomograph for the study of human disease models in small animals. The work carried out consists of experimental research.

This is a functional imaging technique at a molecular level that provides valuable information on biochemical, physiological, pathological or pharmacological processes in vivo.

The data can be obtained in a non-invasive, quantitative and repetitive way of the biological function in live animals. In this way, it allows the longitudinal monitoring of the animal throughout the whole experimental process.
