Mit­t­lab

Mit­t­lab is a med­ical imag­ing teach­ing and test lab­o­ra­to­ry, that is locat­ed on the premis­es of Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal. It was estab­lished in a Euro­pean Region­al Fund ‑project in col­lab­o­ra­tion between Uni­ver­si­ty of Oulu and Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Sci­ences. Lab­o­ra­to­ry offers a sin­gle infra­struc­ture that serves the needs of research, edu­ca­tion and com­pa­nies in a ver­sa­tile man­ner.

The lab­o­ra­to­ry com­pris­es of var­i­ous phys­i­cal and vir­tu­al com­po­nents which include radi­og­ra­phy, mam­mog­ra­phy, a cone-beam CT sys­tem, con­ven­tion­al CT sys­tem, phan­toms, radi­a­tion dose meters, 360°-virtual sim­u­la­tion envi­ron­ments of imag­ing suites, vir­tu­al­ized imag­ing device inter­faces (MRI, CT and radi­og­ra­phy) as well as vir­tu­al 3D anato­my envi­ron­ment. These tools will be used to improve edu­ca­tion in bio­med­ical engi­neer­ing, physics and radi­a­tion pro­tec­tion at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Oulu and in the train­ing of radi­og­ra­phers at the Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Sci­ences. Addi­tion­al­ly, lab­o­ra­to­ry enables med­ical imag­ing com­pa­nies to test new equip­ment in facil­i­ties sim­i­lar to a hos­pi­tal envi­ron­ment and help to com­mer­cial­ize prod­ucts and pro­to­types devel­oped in this way.
