Multimodal imaging platforms built around your research

Configure today. Expand tomorrow. Work without compromise.
Answer complex biological questions with aligned molecular and anatomical data in one scalable system. MILabs multimodal platforms are modular by design, allowing you to configure the exact combination of imaging methods your research requires, and expand seamlessly as new challenges and opportunities emerge.

Enhanced insight through integrated molecular and anatomical imaging

Correlate structure and function accurately, without compromising data quality.
By bringing complementary molecular and anatomical imaging together in one unified workflow, researchers benefit from:
  • ESimultaneous anatomical, functional, and molecular insight
  • EStronger data alignment and improved study reliability
  • EMore efficient workflows with fewer repeat scans
  • EFlexibility to adapt as research questions evolve
  • EControl all modalities from one integrated interface
Multimodality in action

Multimodal imaging allows researchers to combine high-resolution anatomical imaging with molecular methods to visualize biological processes in context. Structural information provides spatial precision, while molecular data reveals dynamic biological activity. Integrating both within a single platform enables precise co-registration, reduces variability, and strengthens interpretation across biological systems.

Switch from SPECT to PET to theranostic sdAB imaging

Name and title - Professor Tony Lahoutte, Head of Nuclear Medicine, UZ/VUB University, Belgium

“The ability to simultaneous image SPECT and PET tracers in the same animal, at exactly the same time, gives us unique information on certain combinations while providing maximum flexibility. If we decide to change from a preclinical SPECT-labeled nanobody to a PET- labeled nanobody for clinical trials, we can easily compare these tracers one-on-one in vivo with the VECTor simultaneous PET/SPECT imaging system”
