CTSI Translational Imaging Center

State-of-the-Art Equipment
Our powerful scanners provide the highest available resolution.

Multiple Modalities
Choose the platform that best advances your scientific needs: MRI, CT or PET-CT.

Dedicated to Research
We’re devoted exclusively to clinical and preclinical research, so there’s no need to compete with clinical priorities.

Ready Access
Our facility is open and available to investigators at UB and throughout the Buffalo Translational Consortium.

• Toshiba Vantage Titan 3 Tesla MRI
• 9.4-Tesla Bruker Biospec preclinical MR Imager with cryoprobe
• GE Discovery 690 PET-CT scanner

Your local and national collaborators will benefit from a common platform for storing, analyzing and sharing imaging data.

Your colleagues, including those at remote sites, can rapidly access de-identified image data linked to demographic, clinical and outcome data.
