Walk through our labs from your browser.
Two self-guided virtual tours of our preclinical imaging facility — explore the scanner suite and the radiotracer prep room without leaving your desk.
How to navigate the tour
The scanner suite.
Step inside the room where multimodal preclinical PET/SPECT/CT studies happen. The VECTor/CT scanner is the centerpiece — surrounded by anesthesia and physiological-monitoring equipment, lead shielding for radiation safety, and bench space for animal handling and dosing.
Where doses get prepared and checked.
This is where freshly produced radiotracers arrive — from TRIUMF via the underground Rabbit Line, or from UBC Pharmaceutical Sciences. Doses are calibrated, dispensed into syringes for injection, checked for activity and quality, and imaging phantoms are assembled here. No radiochemistry happens on-site — tracers are produced by our collaborators and prepared for use at MIRF.
