Musculoskeletal Imaging Core/Image Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC)

Core Focus: Provide advanced micro- and macroscopic image acquisition resources and quantitative image post-processing analyses for investigators working in various areas of musculoskeletal research.

The Musculoskeletal Imaging Core allows investigators to access 2D and 3D imaging services focused on musculoskeletal tissues, access to automated instrumentation, and academic support in all aspects of image acquisition and post-processing. This core complements existing imaging resources at LRI/CCF and uses expertise currently within the center for quantitative analysis of soft and mineralized musculoskeletal tissues.

Location: The Musculoskeletal Imaging Laboratory is under the supervision of Amit Vasanji, PhD, and is located in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, on the second floor (ND2-95) of the ND building.
