About the CIR
The Center for Imaging Research (CIR) at the Фβͼ facilitates multi‐disciplinary collaboration among imaging scientists and clinicians at academic institutions within the Milwaukee region. In addition, the CIR manages Фβͼresearch imaging facilities and provides access to Фβͼfaculty imaging specialists.
The CIR has a distinguished history in uniting basic and clinical scientists of various disciplines to further the development and application of medical imaging technology. Investigative projects at the CIR span a wide variety of disease states and topics of technological development and are funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, and numerous foundations.
The CIR is housed in the Daniel M. Soref Imaging Research Facility, which is adjacent to Фβͼand Froedtert Hospital on the grounds of the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center.
Recently, the CIR has undertaken an expanded mission to perform mixed research and advanced clinical outpatient imaging. This allows for support of clinical evaluation trials and basic science/technology research.

CIR Pilot Award Program
The Center for Imaging Research Intramural Pilot Award Program stimulates research and serves as a support mechanism for establishing the preliminary results needed to seek extramural funding. Significant portions of this funding are made possible by the Daniel M. Soref Charitable Trust.

The Center for Imaging Research has been awarded a three-year term of in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the result of a recent review by the . The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.
