The Mouse Imaging Centre (MICe) at The Hospital for Sick Children was created as a unique resource and comprehensive imaging facility combining the latest state-of-the-art digital medical imaging technologies for the characterization of mouse functional genomics.

MICe is staffed by an exciting team of investigators with expertise in imaging techniques, computer science, engineering, imaging processing, developmental biology and mouse pathology.

At the Mouse Imaging Centre we:

• Provide a variety of medical imaging technologies adapted to studying genetically modified mice. These technologies include magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, micro computed tomography (micro-CT), ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), and optical projection tomography (OPT).

• Use mouse models to investigate complex human disease.

• Perform longitudinal phenotyping of a variety of mouse models to observe normal development, disease progression and responses response to experimental treatment.

We also constantly work towards:

• Developing an exciting team of investigators with expertise in imaging techniques, computer science, engineering, imaging processing, developmental biology and mouse pathology.

• Collaborating with researchers around the world to pursue shared scientific interests.
