Cardiac Imaging Research
Cardiovascular Imaging Research
The Cardiac Imaging Research Group at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) collaborates with other academic institutions and global industry partners to harness the power of cardiac imaging techniques to improve health outcomes.
The BIDMC Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Center, established in 1995, is dedicated to the development of CMR applications to the cardiovascular system and to advancing cardiovascular imaging through innovative research. The team uses a 3 Tesla scanner for research and clinical imaging of the heart and major vessels.
The Cardiac Imaging Research section of the Smith Center for Outcomes Research is led by Jordan Strom, MD.
