Industry UsagePrimarily in research and development for drug discovery and biomedical studiesIn clinical settings for patient diagnostics and treatment monitoring

Preclinical Imaging and Imaging Technicians share some technical skills but differ mainly in their work focus and environment. Preclinical Imaging specialists focus on animal research and biomedical studies, while Imaging Technicians work with human patients in clinical settings. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus.

What is preclinical imaging?

Preclinical imaging refers to a range of non-invasive imaging techniques used to study disease models, biological processes, and drug effects in animals before clinical trials in humans begin. These techniques include MRI, CT, PET, SPECT, ultrasound, and optical imaging. Preclinical imaging allows researchers to observe disease progression, evaluate treatment efficacy, and gather critical data that informs later stages of drug development, all while reducing the number of animals needed and improving study design.
