Scheduling Information

Ultrasound and/or photoacoustic imaging studies can be scheduled after an initial new client meeting. This meeting will help ensure animal protocols are current, any necessary supplies/contrast agents are obtained, system abilities are available, funding is set up, data analysis procedures are explained, etc. Please use the email links below to set up this meeting. Subsequently, scans can be scheduled in 15-minute duration blocks and charged by the hour or on a per animal basis, depending on your needs and goals.

Please be aware it can take up to two weeks to coordinate with the Research Animal Resource Center and verify protocol requirements, so keep that in mind when planning your projects and contact us early for scheduling time.
