These charges cover capital equipment replacement, service contracts, expendables such as cryogens, and a contribution towards staff assistance and scanning training. Please note that:
- Charges will be costed on an experiment-by-experiment basis.
- Preliminary and follow-up studies will be charged at the same rate.
- Costs may be subject to change and are at the discretion of the CABI Management Committee.
- Researchers will be expected to prepare and scan their own animals/samples, and reconstruct/analyse the MRI and SPECT/CT data. Training will be given on how to use the systems and on the analysis of data.
- Except for MRI studies, if data collection by personnel from CABI is desired, the cost would be different. Please consult the respective core scientist for more information.
- Time on any system will be allocated by the CABI Management Committee.
