Equipment

The Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP) features an on-board cone-beam CT to guide focal irradiation of small animals, mimicking human radiation treatments. It can deliver single or multiple beams of radiation in single or fractionated treatments. It also offers gating to time treatment with respiration.

Other features include:
• Fully integrated imaging, registration and dose-planning software
• Dynamic variable collimator 1mm x 1mm to 40mm x 80mm
• Dose monitoring system

These resources are open to all laboratories/researchers at the University of Rochester. Wilmot Cancer Institute members receive priority for use, as well as discounted pricing.

Training is required and will be provided by appointment. To learn more, contact Carl Johnston, Ph.D.
