Clinical Operations Committee
Committee Mission
The goal of the HIRO's Clinical Operations Committee is to help bridge the gap between all of the research and clinical trial imaging that takes place every day and the clinical operations of the Radiology Department. This committee is tasked with helping resolve unique issues that arise with new research studies and developing policies that will guide researchers and radiology personnel with research-related imaging.
