Imaging Technology

Some BTRCs focus on pursuing cutting-edge development and improvement of technologies and methods for imaging and spectroscopy to study areas such as organ structure and function, perfusion, oxygen extraction, and metabolism for the diagnosis, staging, treatment evaluation and investigating diseases and abnormalities. This requires expertise and integration of many areas of science: physics, chemistry, electrical and computational engineering, mathematics, biology, and medicine.

The imaging centers are located in major research intensive medical centers providing a supportive environment for interdisciplinary research and exceptional opportunities to identify proper collaborations to drive the technology development. This proximity contributes as well to the reduction in translation barriers to clinical applications.
