Turning today's research vision into tomorrow's standard of care.
Established in 2003, the Hoglund Biomedical Imaging Center (HBIC) has greatly enhanced the KU research landscape. Top scientific researchers, renowned professors, graduate students and postdoctoral students aspire to carry out their work at HBIC, where advanced imaging studies have led to discoveries in major areas of research, including Alzheimer's disease, weight loss, fetal and infant health, multiple sclerosis, diabetes and traumatic brain injury.
Community partner
The presence of the 3T MRI and the MEG systems within the Kansas City region provides unique opportunities to offer advanced scanning services to clinicians and patients. These services are designed to enhance and complement existing radiological services. For example, cortical imaging is used for pre-surgical planning in patients with epilepsy or tumor diagnoses.
