Research - The Imaging Diagnostic Center

The research activity of CDI professionals is carried out, for the most part, at the August Pi i Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS). Since the activity of the CDI is multidisciplinary, the doctors belong to several research groups integrated within the different areas of the IDIBAPS.

The CDI's main lines of research are the following:

• Imaging biomarkers in dementia
• Imaging biomarkers in brain tumors
• Imaging biomarkers in ENT tumors
• Image study of drug-resistant epilepsy
• Imaging biomarkers in the prostate
• Image study of chronic kidney disease and renal tumors
• Functional imaging in lymphoma, melanoma and myeloma
• Radiological assessment of breast cancer and assessment of response to treatment by MRI
• Use of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of breast cancer
• Study of imaging biomarkers in lung cancer
• Image biomarkers in atrial arrhythmia
• Evaluation of autoimmune disease in the thorax
• Image biomarkers in inflammatory bowel disease
• Functional study of hepatocarcinoma and endovascular therapy
• Comprehensive evaluation by imaging and endovascular therapy of stroke
• Radio-guided tumor surgery using sentinel node detection
