Imaging Service Line
Mayo Clinic's imaging services help investigators create high-quality visualizations and physical models of their research data or samples, while also developing, testing and introducing new imaging techniques. Cores are focused on biomedical imaging, microscopy and cell analysis, and X-ray imaging.
Biomedical Imaging Resource Core
The Biomedical Imaging Resource Core provides study teams at Mayo Clinic and around the world with:
- Reproducible image analysis
- Data management
- Guidance on protocol design
- Custom software and hardware solutions
The core's media and model production resources help researchers create high-quality visualizations and physical models of their data.
