Small Animal Imaging Facility

Overview of Services

The Small Animal Imaging Facility (SAIF) maintains and houses instruments used to further the research in treating and curing childhood deseases.

In order to optimize the equipment use within the SAIF, it is imperative that scheduling changes be made at least 24 hours in advance.

Scheduling abuses will be taken seriously. Loss of imaging privileges and a fee of $50 will be charged to investigators who abuse these privileges.
