Biomedical Imaging Unit (BIU)

Biomedical Imaging Unit provides excellent facilities for small animal in vivo imaging and ex vivo MRI microscopy in different areas of basic and applied research. The strength of BIU is in the strong combination of different imaging modalities together with the excellent quality and variety of different animal models, biotechnology and contrast molecule synthesis found at the University of Kuopio.

 The imaging unit is located in A.I.Virtanen Institute, University of Kuopio, and it consists of three MRI scanners, a SPECT/CT unit for small animal imaging.
