Duke Center for In Vivo Microscopy (CIVM) is an NIH/NCRR National Biomedical Technology Research Center that develops medical technologies with applications for small animal imaging at microscopic resolution.

As an NCI Small Animal Imaging Resource Program, we help researchers apply these technologies to cancer research.


We offer 2T, 7T, and 9.4T MR microscopy, micro-CT, micro x-ray, ultrasound, and optical imaging technologies. For details about our imaging facilities, CLICK HERE. To initiate a project with the Center, CLICK HERE to go to our collaboration link.

CIVM continues to expand our range of technical capabilities and applications, such as these examples:

3He MR lung imaging
4D micro-CT of the mouse heart
4D heart analysis
