ICAN IMAGING
ICAN IMAGING: a unique technological offer in Île-de-France
The acquisition by the IHU-ICAN of a latest-generation 1.5T cardiovascular MRI has enabled the creation of the first cardiovascular and metabolic imaging platform by magnetic resonance dedicated entirely to humans in Île-de-France. This platform provides unique access for academic, hospital and industrial research to advanced non-invasive quantitative imaging of the cardiocirculatory system, and development of metabolic imaging.
These new techniques, applied directly to humans, enable accelerated patient-centered translational research. The development of imaging sequences, the optimization and standardization of protocols based on local skills in cardio-radiology (ICT) are combined with the expertise in image analysis and quantification of the Biomedical Imaging Laboratory (LIB, Sorbonne University, INSERM, CNRS) to develop new imaging biomarkers.
Multiparametric imaging data can be integrated with other omics data within ICAN technology platforms, to determine new strategies for personalized patient care, using the latest data analysis techniques via Artificial Intelligence
Platform expertise
The ICAN IMAGING platform combines three complementary activities: image acquisition by the MRI platform, standardized reference analysis and image management by the Core Lab, and project development including methodological, regulatory, financial and communication aspects by the IHU-ICAN.
