Case Western Reserve University is a world leader in developing novel biomedical imaging technologies for translational and basic science applications. Research programs in imaging serve as the cornerstones for numerous interdisciplinary programs, including cancer diagnosis and prognosis, gene therapy, nanotechnology and drug delivery, cardiac physiology and understanding of metabolic diseases.
Our imaging program collaborates extensively with biomedical research programs in the Case School of Medicine, University Hospitals and Cleveland Clinic, resulting in rapid translation of imaging technologies developed here to the patient bedside and scientists鈥� bench-side. Our major research thrusts include developing and optimizing novel imaging technologies, creating new capabilities for existing imaging systems and applying novel imaging technologies to clinical and preclinical investigations. These areas include:
Imaging Technology 鈥� Innovation of image acquisition and reconstruction technologies for faster image acquisition, higher spatial resolution and more comprehensive evaluation of anatomic structure and physiological functions.
Computational Algorithms 鈥� New computational imaging analysis tools to identify subtle sub-visual cues that can enable predictions of disease behavior and progression, as well as lead to innovative developments in imaging quality.
Imaging-Guided Interventions 鈥� Development of new and integrated devices and imaging technologies to provide real-time, imaging-guided surgery, neuromodulation and other interventions.
Molecular Imaging 鈥� Development of new imaging contrast agents that provide imaging biomarkers and molecular details of disease progression, better delineation of tumor margins and more sensitive detection of tumor metastasis.
