CAPI
|

CAPI opened in 2016 and was created with the support of the Czech Ministry for Education, Youth and Sport's Operational Programme Research and Development for Innovation (OP RDI). We are a multimodal imaging center equipped with the latest technologies, enabling examination of small laboratory animals (mouse, rat) by means of X-ray, CT, MRI, MPI, PET, SPECT, and optical imaging using fluorescence and luminescence, ultrasound and photoacoustics. All these methods can be combined for one anesthetized animal and the images can be merged. Measurements can be made for up to four animals simultaneously. The devices have integrated anesthesia for maintaining body temperature of an animal and monitoring its vital signs (ECG, respiration, blood pressure, video monitoring).
The Center can perform longitudinal studies. Animals are housed in individually ventilated cages (IVC).
