CMR Research Program

Brief description of research programme:

Our Cardiovascular Innovation Research Center (CIRC) was established in 2022 at the Cleveland Clinic and aims to improve the quality and efficiency of CMR imaging with development of cutting-edge technology and techniques including advanced multidimensional imaging, artificial intelligence/machine learning, 3D printing, bio-inspired robotics, and computer simulation. Led by Chris Nguyen, Ph.D., we foster a highly collaborative environment between engineers, scientists, physicians, and patients to enable rapid translation of these innovations to transform clinical practice at both Cleveland Clinic and across the globe.
