Western Australia NIF Node

About

The Western Australia NIF Node (WANIF) offers a state-of-the-art technical platform, allowing high-resolution imaging of materials, plants and specimens, as well as preclinical small animal and biomedical human research capabilities. The WANIF aims to provide open access to researchers and investigators, offering imaging solutions from mice to humans (and almost everything in between), in morphology and function, on a microscopic to a macroscopic scale.

Animals, Plants and Materials Imaging

WANIF provides in vivo/ex vivo preclinical Micro-CT and MR-imaging capabilities, along with live animal in vivo fluorescence and bioluminescence, high frequency ultrasound and photo acoustic imaging capabilities. We also host a large field-of-view X-Ray CT scanner, dedicated to materials research.

Human Imaging

WANIF houses powerful, state-of-the-art equipment (digital PET-CT and 3T MRI) in a research-dedicated environment. These instruments provide a unique capacity for standardised, reproducible and quantifiable imaging to support biomedical research and imaging for clinical trials.

Radiopharmaceuticals

WANIF staff provide the expertise to allow researchers to use a range of PET radiopharmaceuticals critical for PET imaging studies.
