Overview
The Center for Advanced Imaging (CAI) at WVU was established to provide superior radiological services via a rare integration of clinical imaging with research and development. Based in the Health Sciences Center, the CAI is a 20,000 square-foot clinical and research imaging facility. The Center currently scans both clinical patients and research subjects with clinical PET/CT and MRI scanners, in
addition to an animal scanner and breast PET/CT scanner built by the Department’s instrumentation group. The facility also includes a cyclotron and radiochemical laboratory capable of producing common PET radionuclides ( 18 F, 11 C and 13 N). Small animal PET imaging is available with a system developed at WVU. In addition, a BeaQuant-S autoradiography system is available to make 2D images of the distribution of a beta-emitting material in biological samples.
