Research Facilities and Environments
- There are three fully-equipped
angio-suites, including one with 3-D imaging function. There is also an image
reading/imaging post-processing room for both clinical and basic researches.
- NIH-funded
research projects on image-guided bio-molecular interventions enable the
establishment of a new interventional-molecular imaging laboratory, which will
begin to function at South Lake Union on July 1, 2008. This lab is specifically designed at NIH
Biosafety Level II, and fully equipped with molecular biology wet labs,
facilities for cell culture, construction of nanoparticles, histopathologic
staining, production of new interventional devices, image post-processing, as
well as in vivo ultrasound and optical imaging instruments for small animals.
- A digital angio-surgery unit, specifically designed for experiments on
large animal, is being established on the 6th floor of UWMC.
- Department of radiology is working on establishment of an interventional
MR scanner.
