Image Guided Radiation Core

Who We Are

Small animal image guided radiation is a clinically relevant way to deliver precise X-radiation in mice or ratsThe machine uses cone beam CT or real time portal imaging to precisely deliver radiation to key organs or regions without the need for complex shielding. The radiation source is an orthovoltage 225kV X-ray tube mounted to a gantry with a variety of collimators that allow for a wide range of beam sizes and shaping, as well as static or arc deliveries. The core also offers CT imaging for tumor growth in some orthotopic models and an assortment of other imaging needs.
