Many of the Emory Radiology faculty and staff are involved with collaborative efforts within institutionally supported centers or core facilities.
The multi-disciplinary and multimodal nature of imaging and its importance to multiple fields of investigation makes the Emory Center for Systems Imaging (CSI) a natural link to several of the Vision 2012 Woodruff Health Science Strategic Centers, including the Comprehensive Neuroscience Center, Predictive Health, the Heart and Vascular Center, and the Center for Transplantation, as well as and EU initiatives such as Neuroscience, Human Nature, and Society, and Computation and Life Sciences (CLS).
CSI is built on four strong, yet mutually-dependent, Pillar Themes in 1) Imaging Instrumentation & Methodology, 2) Molecular Tracer Development, 3) Computation & Image Processing, and 4) Education & Training. These pillars provide the foundation for multiple cross-cutting scientific programs, including Neuroscience and Oncology.
CSI resources include state-of-the-art radiochemistry facilities, human and animal PET and MRI imaging, including a unique prototype combined MRI/PET device, and support for advanced computation and imaging analysis.
