In the Core Facility Experimental And Preclinical Imaging Cologne (EPIC), various tomographic imaging systems are available for clinical and preclinical imaging. These include a 3T (human) MRI, a 7T small animal MRI, a preclinical SPECT/CT and PET device. While the 3T MRI system is designed for human imaging, but it is used exclusively for research purposes. In addition to measurements on test subjects or patients within studies, animal studies can also be carried out on the 3T system with the aid of dedicated coils.

All employees of the Core Facility EPIC are highly qualified and have the relevant expertise and specialist knowledge. As a result, users can be effectively advised and supported in planning projects and conducting experiments. Depending on the modality, topic and funding, the projects can be carried out collaboratively or independently.
