The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) has named seven CWRU researchers to its 2024 class of senior members, recognizing their “remarkable innovation-producing technologies that have brought, or aspire to bring, real impact on the welfare of society.” Four are CCIR members: Jim Basilion, Agata Exner, Anirban Sen Gupta, and David Wilson.

Guided by a bold, strategic plan and building upon the rich history of pioneering translational imaging research, Dr. Exner's vision for the next phase of the center is to expand partnerships and catalyze biomedical imaging innovation. 

Particular congratulations to Henry Ruhl, first year undergraduate student, for having two abstracts accepted as orals! Henry is mentored by Dr. Agata Exner and MD/PhD student Felipe Berg, and CCIR faculty collaborators include Jim Basilion, Leo Kayat, and Salim Abboud.

The team is working to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) alternative that generates virtual contrast-enhanced images without chemical agents. “With this grant, our multidisciplinary team aims to improve the medical-imaging process for clinical staff and patients,” said project leader Shuo Li, associate professor,…

Physicians and scientists at UH and CWRU have worked side-by-side to develop the transformative MR Fingerprinting technology. This new imaging technology was recently approved by the FDA and enables fast and precise disease diagnosis as well as the ability to detect changes in treatment response. MR Fingerprinting also…
