NIHR Imaging Group
The UK plays a leading role globally in developing new imaging techniques and much clinical research is crucially dependent on high quality imaging, with industry partnerships playing an important part. Imaging is also at the forefront of scientific developments in fast-developing areas such as artificial intelligence. The NIHR recognises the importance of imaging and is working towards building research capacity and capability in this area. The NIHR Imaging Group plays a key role in this, as well as advertising and facilitating imaging research nationally.
This site aims to provide researchers and healthcare professionals with information, guidance and support in delivering Imaging research.
The NIHR Imaging Group is led by a Steering Committee and has three operational working groups. We have representatives from the 15 CRN Local Imaging Champions, CRN Cancer Radiotherapy and Imaging Research Leadership and BRC Imaging Leadership. The Committee also includes representatives from three key professional bodies – the Royal College of Radiologists, the Society of Radiographers and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, and patients and other external bodies (including UKRI) are also represented.
