The diagnostic imaging lab utilizes a GE Definium Tempo digital radiography (DR) system, capable of supine, upright, and some weight-bearing radiographic imaging abilities. The CT scanning laboratory includes a GE Optima 520, 32-slice scanner with a 70 cm gantry bore. It is a 16 cm detector, capable of 0.625 mm increment thin-slice scans.
Imaging with these machines can be requested for research projects involving humans, animals, cadaveric specimens, and even fossils.
Examples of past research projects include:
- TMJ condylar prosthesis utilizing cadaveric and live goat specimens
- Knee prosthesis utilizing cadaveric goat specimens
- Pathology identification of non-avian herbivorous dinosaur fossils
- Cadaveric skull scanning to assess surgical intervention planning methodology for medical students
- CT scanning for an in-vivo dosimetry radiation therapy project regarding an ultrasound-guided therapy methodology
