Within the approved UGent core facility CORE ARTH (Animal facilities, Radiological Techniques, and Histology), the INFINITY lab (INnovative Flemish IN vivo Imaging TechnologY) offers advanced preclinical medical imaging devices, services and expertise for non-invasive in vivo medical imaging of laboratory animals. CORE ARTH INFINITY houses a wide range of state-of-the-art preclinical medical imaging devices. The following imaging technologies are available: positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), and in vivo optical imaging (bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging). Next to these imaging modalities, CORE ARTH INFINITY also houses a micro-irradiator for high-precision image-guided radiotherapy of laboratory animals. The major research domains of CORE ARTH INFINITY are the development of imaging biomarkers for evaluating pathophysiology in neurology, oncology, and neuro-oncology.

CORE ARTH INFINITY is located in The Core building at the campus of the Ghent University Hospital (UZ Gent), which is a very central location for a preclinical imaging facility. As a core facility, INFINITY is part of CORE ARTH that is an initiative of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. The lab is also part of the Medical Imaging and Signal Processing (MEDISIP) research group that forms a part of the Institute of Biomedical Technology (IBiTech), which provides education, research and scientific services related to health technology within the Department of Electronics and Information Systems (ELIS) of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Ghent University.
