Présentation
Biological and medical imaging activities developed in Carnot STAR's research units are numerous and of direct interest to the industry. Within the framework of Sport, Health and Well-being theme, they allow a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in certain physiological processes (muscle function, cardiovascular system, metabolism, etc.).
3 types of imaging are distinguished among Carnot STAR's research units activities :
- Magnetic resonance imaging: translational research, methods, instruments, new diagnostics, new therapeutic strategies, complete system for stimulating and recording behavioural and physiological responses synchronised with MRI acquisitions, functional MRI, anatomical MRI, diffusion MRI, sensory stimulation, physiological monitoring
- Nuclear imaging: isotopic molecular imaging (clinical and pre-clinical SPECT/CT, clinical and pre-clinical PET/CT, microSPECT/CT, microPET/CT), scintigraphy
- Optical imaging: OCT, bio-luminescence, fluorescence, non-linear optics (2-photons, SHG, THG, CARS, SRS), polarimetry, phase imaging, endoscopy, super-resolution/individual molecules, photo-acoustic imaging.
