DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This shared instrumentation grant proposal is for the purchase of a dedicated small-animal PET scanner. The NIH-funded research projects that require this system are aimed primarily at developing new molecular imaging agents and validating existing radiotracers for the investigation of fundamental biological processes and the assessment of the impact of therapeutic interventions. The system will be located in the Center for Small Animal Imaging (CSAI) alongside systems representing the major in vivo imaging modalities (ultrasound, bioluminescence/fluorescence, SPECT, MRI and MRS). The CSAI functions as a Core Facility for the university and operates as part of the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science. The PET system will be supported by an experienced group of imaging scientists and a highly qualified support staff. It also will be a key resource for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees supported by our institutional training grants in cancer imaging as well as our other trainees in imaging science.

描述（由申请人提供）：此共享的仪器赠款提案是用于购买专用的小动物PET扫描仪。需要该系统的NIH资助的研究项目主要旨在开发新的分子成像剂，并验证现有的放射性示例，以研究基本生物学过程和评估治疗干预措施的影响。该系统将位于小动物成像中心（CSAI）以及代表主要体内成像方式的系统（超声，生物发光/荧光，SPECT，MRI和MRS）。 CSAI是该大学的核心设施，并作为范德比尔特大学成像科学研究所的一部分。宠物系统将得到经验丰富的成像科学家和高素质的支持人员的支持。这也将是我们在癌症成像方面的机构培训资助以及我们成像科学领域的其他学员的支持的支持者和博士后学员的关键资源。
