This $1,280,102 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) supports the acquisition of a MEDISO NANOSCAN SPECT/PET/CT imaging system for the University of Pittsburgh's In Vivo Imaging Facility (IVIF). This new instrument will replace and upgrade an aging Inveon PET/CT scanner, enabling IVIF researchers to continue conducting molecular imaging studies to visualize metabolic processes, detect and diagnose cancer, monitor treatment response, and assess pharmacokinetics. The award will fund the purchase of the advanced SPECT/PET/CT imager, which offers improved resolution and sensitivity compared to the existing equipment. This instrumentation upgrade is critical to supporting the research of 6 major and 5 minor users funded by multiple R01 grants, a K08 award, a DOD grant, and other sources. The award period runs from July 2025 to July 2026.
