Research within the Image Guided Therapy Research Facility (IGTRF)
IGTRF supports both commercial and academic led research

IGTRF supports a wide range of research and welcomes collaborations from both academic, clinical and commercial researchers.
The team work collaboratively with the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID) to deliver a wide research portfolio and are currently engaged in a program of research with Professor Iris Grunwald. These projects are at the forefront of research, employing new advanced imaging technologies such as the NeuroLogica Photon Counting Detecting (PCD) scanner.
The FDA has recently described PCD technology as the “first major imaging device advancement” in CT technology in close to a decade.
