Centre for Imaging Research - CIR
CIR is a joint venture of Karolinska University Hospital, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, and Region Stockholm, providing state-of-the-art imaging of all organs and systems in vivo, in humans and various animal models. The centre gathers a unique set of core facilities for structural, functional, and metabolic imaging, with a special focus on translational brain imaging. CIR serves academic, clinical, and industrial users with imaging facilities and services of the highest standard.
About CIR

KERIC is a core facility that offers imaging analyses in experimental systems in combination with experimental surgery in large animals like swine as well as in rodents. We offer advanced imaging services in MR, PET and CT and a fully equipped facility for experimental surgery with four full size operation units equipped with ventilators.

The Brain Molecular Imaging Centre (BMIC) is a Core Facility (CF) for molecular imaging of the brain using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Our aim is to provide expertise and competence for brain imaging PET studies in human subjects and non-human primates (NHPs). BMIC supports research studies in psychiatric disorders, neurodegenerative disorders and neuropsychopharmacology, as well as a range of studies on other diseases and normal process in the brain or outside.
