 Small Animal Imaging Workshop - an annual program
The November 1-2, 2007 program covered these topics:
- New imaging technologies: Recent technical developments in MR microscopy, micro-CT, micro-x-ray, and ultrasound.
- Applications for cancer research: A major new initiative of the Center for In Vivo Microscopy is to increase small animal imaging in cancer research. This session highlighted recent successes and also presented new directions.
- State-of-the-art perspective from industry: Experts in the imaging industry presented new imaging systems now being offered.
Last year's program was a big success, with over 100 participants. Look for this workshop again in November 2008.
"Cancer Research Imaging Camp" - June 15-20, 2008
This unique training opportunity is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute at Duke, with lectures by national experts and hands-on imaging lab sessions at the Center for In Vivo Microscopy. A committee of cancer imaging experts selected 20 students with career interests in cancer research to attend this course.
20 students have already been selected to attend this year's course. Participants can pay their registration fees online or by check—CLICK THIS LINK

Special training sessions
Collaborators and visitors often spend a few days with our staff to learn such things as our small animal handling and monitoring techniques, how to operate the MR imaging systems, how to build RF coils, and how to use our image processing and advanced visualization tools.
