Aside from two experiment hutches, IMBL hosts additional infrastructure, including clinical preparation rooms and laboratories. These were built to support experiments involving unpreserved tissues, and living organisms The large hutch in basement of the Satellite Building will allow imaging research to be carried out on human volunteers.
IMBL is the most recent synchrotron beamline to be built for this purpose, and is one of only a few in the world designed for human studies.

Research…in a nutshell

The IMBL beamline is used for both X-ray imaging (radiography) and X-ray radiotherapy/radiobiology research.

X-ray radiography is useful for many areas of scientific and technological work. From geology and paleontology, to additive manufacturing, pre-clinical and clinical imaging. To name a few.

X-ray Radiotherapy is used as a treatment for cancer. New methods of radiotherapy are being researched using the very bright IMBL x-ray beams.
