A Multimodality Imaging Problem – A Single Solution

Driven primarily by technological advancements, the world around us is constantly evolving. The vast amounts of data available to us allow for more informed decisions, a deeper understanding, and the realization of goals that were once considered only a figment of our imagination.

The BCF is embracing this progress through its multi-faceted imaging center.

The in-vivo unit offers a variety of techniques, including MRI, CT, and US, which allow for non-invasive imaging of whole tissues for a range of applications. These include anatomical images, disease detection and progression, and functional imaging.

The cellular microscopy unit offers advanced systems and applications in widefield, confocal, intravital, super-resolution, SPIM, HCS, and HTS live cell imaging, as well as virtual microscopy.

The Biological Electron Microscopy unit offers a wide range of scanning and transmission EM techniques, including sample preparation, ultrastructural studies in 2D and 3D, immunolocalization of proteins, and negative stain.

The Histology Services unit provides sectioning of frozen tissue and tissue embedded in paraffin, as well as a variety of histological staining techniques.

The BCF`s array of modalities allows for a deeper understanding of data through the use of advanced computing infrastructure, various algorithms, and AI. Examples of this include mapping brain activity, ex-vivo MRI, and light-sheet image fusion, and using AI to study brain imprints on the skull.
