Imaging
In the development and testing of new radiopharmaceuticals, SCK CEN helps partners to visualise the journey of isotopes in the body or organ, thereby revealing also the biological effects of radiopharmaceuticals. SCK CEN measures and visualises the effect of gamma, alpha and beta radiation in your samples. We locate the radiopharmaceutical and quantify its impact on the organism.
How do we handle your assignment?
SCK CEN helps partner companies to perform both in vivo and in vitro imaging and makes various advanced imaging devices available to them: SPECT scanner, auto-radiographic scanner, gamma counter and fluorescence microscope.
