UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS -- A U-SPECT+/CT (MILabs, The Netherlands) will be installed at Northwestern University (Chicago, IL) to deliver ultra-high resolution, high sensitivity, accurate quantification and fast scanning speed of dynamic radio-labeled molecule distributions, contributing to molecular and functional studies in CNS, cardiovascular, oncology, nephrology and reproductive biology.
The MILabs system will be placed in Silverman Hall, home for the Chemistry for Life Processes Institute (CLP) and installed in the Center for Advanced Molecular Imaging (CAMI) led by Professor Thomas Meade, Ph.D. and will serve as a valuable tool for 17 research groups and join other unique shared resources that provide an efficient framework for drug discovery and development.
Purchase of the instrument is supported by the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs, National Institute of Health. Ming Zhao, PhD is the Principal Investigator of the Shared Instrumentation Grant. The scanner will play an active role in enhancing a collaborative environment at Northwestern, and will be instrumental for imaging technology development, characterization of fundamental biology, understanding underlying pathophysiology of diseases, and translating novel therapeutics and diagnostics to clinical practice. Dr. Zhao and his team will also work with the research lab of Prof. Freek Beekman Ph.D. at TU Delft to optimize SPECT protocols for various quantification tasks.

About MILabs
MILabs provides high-end preclinical molecular imaging solutions (SPECT/PET/CT/MR) for biomedical and pharmaceutical research. Today these systems contribute worldwide to the development of new diagnostic solutions and therapies for diseases such as cancer, cardiac and neurodegenerative diseases, depression and diabetes. U-SPECT+/CT provides the fastest, most sensitive and highest resolution small-animal SPECT currently available. Recently MILabs introduced VECTor+ and VECTor+/CT providing extremely user friendly, fully integrated and simultaneous ultra-high resolution SPECT/PET. In collaboration with RS2D, MILabs has also introduced MR+, a dedicated, integrated preclinical MRI systems at clinical field strengths.
