Our goal is to assist University of Chicago investigators and research staff with medical imaging exams performed on human subjects for research purposes. This includes the acquisition, analysis, collection, de-identification and distribution of image data for both basic science research and clinical trials. Our services ensure research-related imaging fulfills protocol requirements and allow investigators to obtain HIPAA- and IRB-compliant clinical research data.
We provide our services for almost all types of medical imaging, including: X-ray (radiographs, fluoroscopy, angiography, cardiac cath), DXA, CT, MRI, ultrasound (general, echocardiography, vascular/duplex, ob/gyn), nuclear medicine (planar and SPECT), PET, ophthalmology imaging, endoscopy and bronchoscopy, and many types of specialty imaging. Our website is meant to serve as a complete portal for biomedical researchers to learn about the University's research policies and to provide access to the various resources that researchers can use to obtain compliant clinical data.
