About us
The Imaging Research laboratory is dedicated to ensuring cardiovascular imaging delivers maximum value for patients — developing pathways for better integration of imaging with clinical management to improve diagnosis, treatment decisions and outcomes.
Cardiovascular imaging technologies have advanced dramatically, but their potential to improve patient care depends on how effectively they're used in clinical practice. Our research addresses critical questions:
- How can we provide equity of access, including to rural and remote areas?
- Which imaging approaches provide the best information for clinical decisions?
- How can we detect cardiovascular disease earlier, when intervention is most effective?
- How do we ensure imaging is used appropriately and cost-effectively across the healthcare system?
By answering these questions, we're working to make cardiovascular imaging not just more sophisticated, but more useful — translating technological capabilities into better care for patients.
Community engagement
We collaborate with the Baker Institute's Community Engagement Group to embed meaningful consumer and community voices into our research. This engagement has helped shape our study direction, refine recruitment and messaging, and support more relevant, accessible and impactful outcomes for people affected by cardiovascular disease, particularly those who may benefit from early detection through advanced imaging.
