Monash Biomedical Imaging

About

Monash Biomedical Imaging (MBI) is a world-class facility for biomedical imaging research and contract research studies. MBI offers world leading expertise and advanced technologies to conduct and support both pre-clinical and clinical studies. The state-of-the-art equipment includes 3T MRI clinical scanners also capable of imaging large animal models, simultaneous MR-PET, 0.064T clinical scanners, 9.4T MRI scanners, small and large animal CT, ultrasound and focussed ultrasound and small animal PET and FLECT – CT systems. MBI’s sites in Clayton and Prahran are uniquely co-located with the Australian Synchrotron, Monash University and the Alfred Hospital, enabling a broad range of ancillary research, contract research support and translational capabilities.

The node provides access to certified radiochemistry facilities for the handling of PET and SPECT radionuclides and offers the in-house expertise for the development of radiopharmaceuticals for preclinical and clinical application.

The Monash-Helmholtz Laboratory for Radio-Immuno-Theranostics (MHELTHERA), housed within MBI, exemplifies our commitment to global collaboration. This unique lab, a partnership with the Helmholtz Association, harnesses expertise in cancer, cardiac, and infectious diseases to innovate in radiopharmaceuticals, non-invasive imaging, and personalised therapy.
