Imaging and Radiation

SARRP

The Live Animal Advanced Imaging and Radiation Shared Resource provides technologies, expertise, and training for state-of-the-art animal imaging and radiation tools required for clinically relevant animal model development, as well as post-treatment tissue handling, processing, and imaging.

Services include:

  • Radiation biology and advanced imaging consultation, including aid in hypothesis generation; experimental design and execution; input on data analysis plans; and manuscript preparation or review.
  • Imaging services, including independent microscope use or staff-assisted image acquisition. Resources include the Center for Advanced Light Microscopy and Nanoscopy.
  • Radiation services, including training and independent use of the gamma cell irradiator (and cesium source) and technical assistance with the SARRP, which allows image-guided radiation delivery mimicking clinical practice. Assistance is also available for the IVIS in vivo imaging system and ultrasound.

Wilmot members receive 50% off list price on SARRP services and 15% across all other imaging modalities.

NCI Designation and Acknowledging the CCSG

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has designated the University of Rochester's Wilmot Cancer Institute as the nation’s 73rd cancer center.  Communicating the outcomes of NIH-funded projects and the role of NIH support in biomedical research enhances public understanding of how we, as a research community, are working to improve human health.  To properly acknowledge the Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) in your work which utilized the Shared Resources since March 15th, 2025, please include the following statement in the acknowledgement section of your publication(s):

“The work described in this publication benefited from the support of the Imaging and Radiation Shared Resource at the Wilmot Cancer Institute, supported in part by the University of Rochester Wilmot Cancer Institute Support Grant #P30CA272302. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health."

Importantly, Wilmot members should use our CCSG Shared Resource terminology to acknowledge the cores in publications, presentations, and grants.  Therefore,

  • Instead of Center for Advanced Light Microscopy and Nanoscopy, use Imaging and Radiation Shared Resource.
