Case Center for Imaging Research, a joint venture between Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals of Cleveland, extends the strategies that have led to successes in bringing novel imaging technologies to the CWRU campus, expands interdepartmental collaboration and interdisciplinary research and facilitates CWRU’s becoming an emerging leader in imaging research. The center also creates the requisite regional intellectual and instrumentation infrastructure to allow interdisciplinary teams to grow to the next level of success, and lead to new synergies and interactions for development of additional future interdisciplinary research groups.

CCIR promotes intensive interaction between faculty, students and outside investigators by providing a collaborative environment through its state-of-the-art facilities and access to the latest in imaging technology.
A major part of the Center for Imaging Research includes state-of-the-art clinical and preclinical research imaging facilities including 4 new multi-nuclear, high-field MRI systems, 4 nuclear imaging systems, and 2 optical imaging systems. Centrally located in basement of Lerner Tower, ~9000 sq. foot facility also includes wet labs, conference areas, and additional faculty office space.

The Center is continuously evolving along with the fast pace of imaging research developments. CCIR’s many research areas span a wide range of imaging modalities and applications. Our research is integrated with industry through several corporate collaborations: many more are in the works.
