The CQCI Preclinical Imaging program provides state-of-the-art quantitative imaging to support characterization of novel HCI rodent models as well as testing of novel therapeutic agents in preclinical trials. This resource enables bi-directional translation between ongoing HCI basic science research and HCI clinical trials to advance the mission of delivering advanced precision medicine to cancer patients.
