BIDMC Radiology Simon Center for Outcomes Research and Improvement (rCORI)

Dr. Yiftach Barash Awarded 2025 rCORI Innovations and Outcomes Grant September 2025 Our Simon Center for Outcomes Research and Improvement (rCORI) has awarded its 2025 Innovation and Outcomes Grant to Dr. Yiftach Barash to study “Large Language Models for Comprehensive Liver MDC Decision-Making.”...

About the Translational MRI Research Core

The Translational MRI Research Core of the BIDMC Department of Radiology provides state-of-the-art MRI capabilities for imaging human subjects and potentially large animals as part of research studies. The facility operates a 70cm bore GE Signa Premier XT 3T whole-body scanner completely dedicated...

About the Preclinical MRI Research Core

The Preclinical MRI Core at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center offers instrumentation and expertise for a broad range of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy applications for small animals and tissue samples. The Preclinical MRI Core is a full-service facility that provides protocol design...

Imaging for Risk Assessment

Many decisions that general clinicians need to make daily are based on a risk assessment of different clinical (medical or surgical) interventions relative to the risk of non-intervention. We have a program for developing imaging protocols to better assess risk for patients in several clinical...

Noninvasive MRI Evaluation of Lymphedema

Lymphedema is caused by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial space due to impaired clearance, from congenital causes (primary) or infection, trauma, or medical/surgical treatments (secondary), resulting in (sometimes severe) swelling of the extremities. Visualization and...

Studying Cancer Metabolism In Vivo with Hyperpolarized MRI

Hyperpolarization is a technology for aligning, or polarizing, the nuclear spins in a contrast agent or metabolic tracer. Agents prepared this way can dramatically enhance nuclear magnetization and, as a result, produce MR signals up to 100,000 times stronger versus conventional imaging. This makes...

Quantitative Imaging & Biomarkers

Quantitative imaging is the acquisition, extraction, and characterization of relevant quantifiable features from medical images for use in research and patient care. Standardizing the use of imaging biomarkers in clinical trials reduces the variance inherent across different hardware and software...

Getting Started with MRI Research

To begin, you will need human subjects or animal research approval through the BIDMC CCI/IRB, IACUC, or another appropriate regulatory body. The BIDMC CCI/IRB has standard language for use in the ICF for studies involving MRI. MRI has specific contraindications and safety issues that will be...
