IU and Cook open Indianapolis MRI research and training center

Radiology and MR technologists will have a new training setting in Indianapolis at a research center opened by Indiana University and Cook Medical. IU’s November 2 announcement places the center at the School of Medicine’s Medical Imaging Research Institute.

Its agenda includes studies of procedures using MRI guidance, alongside work on how medical devices and imaging systems function together. Cardiac and pediatric applications, targeted drug delivery and needle biopsies are among the planned research areas.

The opening adds a shared base for industry-university research and technical training under a five-year collaboration announced in 2025. Human studies will proceed under institutional review board approval. Clinical benefits and routine patient access were not established in the announcement.
