A core protocol covering the standard procedures is maintained by the facility, which can be referred for pilot studies if all the procedures are included in our core protocol. For issues related to the protocol, please contact Dr. Praveen Kulkarni.
- Services: We provide both staff-supported imaging services as well as user-operated imaging services.
