MILabs to Provide CT System to Univ. of Alabama at Birmingham

Molecular imaging solutions developer MILabs BV will be providing an advanced U-CT^UHR microCT system to the Cystic Fibrosis Research Center (CFRC) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).

The adaptive x-ray computed tomography system is predicted to play an important role in advancing research programs centered on novel animal models of cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease developed at UAB by providing superior resolution and unmatched tissue accessibility.

The MILabs U-CT^UHR system acquired by UAB is designed to meet a broad range of in vivo imaging research applications in variety of animals, ranging from very fast, high-resolution, low- dose bone, tissue and lung imaging, to high-quality dual-gated cardiac and pulmonary analysis. UAB will use the new MILabs U-CT^UHR system mainly for evaluation of cystic fibrosis airways disease as well as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis and sinonasal studies.

MILabs is a provider of molecular imaging solutions for biomedical and pharmaceutical research.
