The CT scanning laboratory includes a GE Optima 520, 32-slice scanner with a 70-cm gantry bore. It is a 16 cm detector and is capable of 0.625 mm increment thin-slice scans.
The machine can be reserved for research projects involving both live and cadaveric animals, fossils, and non-living human cadaveric scans.
Examples of past projects the team has provided scanning support include:
- TMJ condylar prosthesis project utilizing cadaveric and live goat specimens
- Pathology identification of non-avian herbivorous dinosaur fossils
- Cadaveric skull to assess surgical intervention planning methodology for medical students
