Biomedical Imaging Center

The Biomedical Imaging Center (BIC) is an interdisciplinary, multimodal imaging facility that supports human and preclinical imaging research at the University of Texas and the wider community. The BIC spans 3 locations in the Norman Hackerman (NHB) and the Health Discovery (HDB) Buildings on the UT campus and hosts a range of systems for MRI, PET, CT and optical imaging. The Center accommodates both independent and assisted use (for human MRI and PET/CT) is on its instruments and provides in-house training in scanner safety and operation (for independent users). The facility also supports a range of task / response paradigms for functional MRI (fMRI) studies and provides back-end support for data archiving, management and common analyses.
