“We are excited to embark on this new research collaboration with GE HealthCare,” says Mary Mahoney, Ben Felson Chair and professor in the University of Cincinnati Department of Radiology at the College of Medicine and chief of imaging services at UC Health. “Together, we can make a profound impact on our medical center, our community and most importantly, our patients. Through our collective efforts, we can push the boundaries of knowledge, discover innovative solutions,and improve the lives of those we serve. UC and UC Health fully embrace this opportunity to advance imaging science and help develop and build the workforce of technologists, engineers and scientists in health imaging for Ohio.”
Studies conducted at the facility, equipped with the 3T wide-bore MRI scanner, will help to test MRI hardware and software technology that have the potential to help improve clinical outcomes. The timelines for installation of the equipment and opening are still in planning stages, but leaders are optimistic and are aiming for the facility to be operational in 2025.
“The University of Cincinnati is home to physician scientists who are impacting how we care for patients with new discoveries every day,” says Brett Kissela, MD, senior associate dean for clinical research at UC’s College of Medicine and chief of research services at UC Health. “This partnership with GE HealthCare will undoubtedly lead to tremendous advances in how we will utilize imaging for daily care of patients within our health system.”
