Center for Advanced Imaging

Based in the Health Sciences Center, the Center for Advanced Imaging is a 20,000 square-foot clinical and research imaging facility. The Center currently scans both clinical patients and research subjects.

To schedule a clinical MRI or PET/CT scan, please call (304) 293-7521.
To inquire about participating in research studies please call (304) 293-6898.

The Center for Advanced Imaging (CAI) at WVU was established to provide superior radiological services via a rare integration of clinical imaging with research and development. Starting with an MRI scanner in a trailer, the facilities have evolved to form a resource that West Virginians can be proud to call their own. The CAI includes:

• a Siemens Biograph PET/CT scanner,
• a GE 3 Tesla (3T) Eclipse HD MRI scanner,
• a nuclear imaging research and development laboratory,
• a functional magnetic resonance imaging clinical/research program,
• a magnetic resonance spectroscopy research program,
• an RF MRS decoupler,
• a cyclotron and radiochemical laboratory,
• a dual-gradient MRI system in the Physicians Office Center,
• two state-of-the-art 1.5 Tesla (1.5T) MRI scanners,
• an evoked-response and transcranial magnetic stimulation laboratory,
• a mock MRI scanner to acclimate subjects to MRI scanning.

The outstanding imaging facilities and staff at the CAI form the clinical arm of the Center. An image-focused NIH-funded group of laboratories form the other research arm.
