Imaging Fees

The Imaging Research Core offers a multi-tiered rate structure. The full rate is applied when Core staff conduct the imaging scan and provide the data to the researcher. Discounts are available to individuals who have completed a Core-approved training program for use of specific equipment (50% weekdays 9AM-5PM; 90% nights and weekends). There is a 12-hour cancellation policy for all services within the IRC. Scheduled scans that are cancelled (or abandoned) within 12-hours of start time will result in a $50 set-up charge. Learn how to complete your training.

Please contact us (imagingcore@case.edu) when planning the budget for a new study.

Radiochemistry Synthesis Fees

The Imaging Research Core Offers radiochemistry synthesis to support PET scan studies. We provide standard synthesis of labeled compounds as listed below and can also provide labeling of additional precursors depending on your study needs. Please contact us (ccir@case.edu) if you are interested in discussing additional radiochemistry synthesis services and when planning the budget for all new studies.

Radiolabeled Compound	Quantity, mCi	Cost/run, $	Approx. # Animals/Run**
[¹¹C] Acetate	20	700*	4 mice
[¹¹C] Choline	20	700*	5 mice
[¹¹C] Methionine	20	700*	5 mice
[¹⁸F] FDG	10	50	5 mice
[¹⁸F] FLT	10	800*	5 mice
[¹⁸F] FMISO	10	800*	5 mice
[¹⁸F] Choline	10	800*	5 mice
6-[¹⁸F] FDG	10	800*	5 mice
[¹⁸F] FHBG	10	800*	TBD
[¹²⁴I] NaI	TBD	TBD	TBD

* Prices may be reduced if you choose to provide your own radionuclide precursors. Contact the Imaging Core staff for additional information (imagingcore@case.edu).

** Estimates are provided for budgeting purposes and are based on radioisotope half-life and number of animals that can be scanned per run. Contact the Imaging Core staff for additional information (imagingcore@case.edu).
