FUNCTIONAL BRAIN IMAGING
AIRC scientists are using powerful magnets to explore human brain function (fMRI). This high resolution image shows regions of brain activity involved in vision. |
 |
METABOLISM
The AIRC is the home of two NIH center grants where stable isotope tracers (13C and 2H) and NMR spectroscopy are used to investigate intermediary metabolism in animals and humans. The rat shown comes from a family that becomes obese on a normal diet. |

METABOLIC IMAGING
AIRC scientists are developing novel imaging agents that report key physiological or metabolic events. This example shows the normal pH gradient across the functioning kidney. |
 |
MOLECULAR IMAGING
AIRC chemists are building novel targeted nanoparticles for molecular imaging of cancer. |
