Metabolic Imaging Core

The NORC-H Metabolic Imaging Core (MIC) links a variety of imaging facilities providing services to NORC-H investigators who currently require or plan to conduct human studies using state-of-the-art imaging research instrumentation and expertise.

The goal of the Metabolic Imaging Core is to provide a central access point for investigators to conduct human studies that include imaging technology for in vivo phenotyping of human tissues for nutrition, obesity, and metabolism studies.
