The Image Guided Therapy Research Facility (IGTRF) is a distinguished centre dedicated to advancing and supporting all stages of preclinical medical device testing, innovation, and training. In collaboration with the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification, IGTRF has pioneered the development of a Thiel cadaveric model that enables extracorporeal perfusion of both arterial and venous systems.
This advanced perfusion capability facilitates multimodal imaging and supports a wide range of surgical interventions using a clinically relevant human cadaveric model. As an optimal platform for ‘first-in-human’ testing, the model significantly advances the development of new medical devices, while also providing robust support for regulatory submissions and training in cutting-edge interventional techniques.
As an internationally recognised, multidisciplinary facility, IGTRF offers tailored services to global clients, including industry leaders and academic researchers, enhancing collaboration and innovation at the forefront of medical technology.
The facility boasts current and next generation imaging equipment to support the needs of our clients. These services allow our Medtech clients to gather highly accurate preclinical testing data for design processes and regulatory submissions.
In addition to our advanced imaging equipment, we can offer clients:
Ultrasound
Intravascular ultrasound
- Endoscopic views
- Pressure and Temperature monitor/control
- Post processing of images
- Access to seminar facilities for project discussions and internal live link ups to our interventional imaging rooms
Our team of highly skilled technicians work with clinicians to provide access to a clinically relevant Thiel embalmed human cadaveric model. The knowledgeable team assist with all aspects of a client’s journey.
