Centre for Advanced Imaging (CAI)
The University of Queensland
As a leading imaging research facility in Australia, the Centre for Advanced Imaging undertakes research and provides research services in: molecular characterisation with nuclear magnetic resonance; electron paramagnetic resonance; preclinical and human imaging with magnetic resonance imaging; computerised axial tomography; and positron emission tomography. The Centre also undertakes radiolabelling of small molecules and antibodies for research with short-lived positron emitting radioisotopes. CAI's imaging capabilities can be used to study organ systems in vivo in health and disease and to image economically significant agricultural animals and plant material, minerals and construction materials.
