Developing and translating MRI methods.
The Center for Translational Imaging (CTI) is a Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine core facility, operated through the Department of Radiology, that provides Northwestern investigators access to state-of-the-art preclinical imaging modalities as well as human magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. The center also maintains a strong industry partnership with Siemens Healthineers, leading to rapid advances in imaging research. CTI is located on Northwestern's Chicago campus.
