VUIIS Molecular Imaging Initiative
|
| Contact: H. Charles Manning (615-322-3793) |
The VUIIS Molecular Imaging Initiative (MII) is the educational arm of the Program in Cellular and Molecular Imaging. Our goals are:
- To review current MI literature and relevant topics
- To provide didactic learning sessions to VUIIS facility users and other interested parties, featuring overviews of basic molecular imaging concepts
- To provide online MI training modules and other downloadable user content
