What You Should Know:

– The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging and GE HealthCare have joined forces to establish a Care Innovation Hub, a collaborative research initiative focused on addressing critical clinical challenges in medical imaging and treatment. 

– The Care Innovation Hub leverages the strengths of both academia and industry to translate novel technologies into clinical practice, ultimately improving patient care and access.

Building on a Legacy of Collaboration

The Care Innovation Hub builds upon a long-standing relationship between UCSF and GE HealthCare, bringing together their combined expertise in research, clinical care, and technology development. This collaboration will focus on three key areas:

1. Imaging Service Line of the Future: Can a fully automated imaging service line deliver exceptional care, minimize inefficiencies, and adapt to patients in real time? This area will focus on developing automated imaging methods, such as patient-specific MRI techniques, and enabling high-quality remote scanning.

2. Brain Health and Neurodegenerative Disease: Can advanced imaging be leveraged to evaluate aging and biomarkers to better understand neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s? This area will explore the links between white matter injury, vascular disease, and Alzheimer’s, and identify ways to predict treatment efficacy.

3. Accessible Precision Oncology: Can new methods be created to assess patient response to radiopharmaceutical therapies and expand access to theranostics in local communities? This area will focus on developing quantitative imaging methods to monitor treatment response and standardize processes for new approaches, such as visualizing alpha-emitting radiopharmaceuticals.

“Our collaboration with GE HealthCare brings a practical focus on addressing well-defined clinical objectives,” said Sharmila Majumdar, PhD, Research Vice Chair in the UCSF Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging. “Together, we’re accelerating innovation in ways that will improve access to care and outcomes across healthcare settings.”
