| The Cardiovascular
Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Unit of the Royal Brompton Hospital and National Heart and
Lung Institute at Imperial College was established in 1984. It dedicates its research to
the cardiovascular system and runs one of the largest cardiovascular clinical services in
the world. Research ranges from basic physics to clinical application and involves a
dedicated inter-disciplinary team of about 25 people. The Unit's success in CMR is a
result of the foresight and energy of Professor Donald Longmore who originally set it up
with a unique mixture of scientists from different disciplines. Following an award of £1.3M from the British Heart Foundation as part of its Cardiovascular Initiative to improve research infrastructure, the CMR Unit has now established a Centre for Advanced Magnetic Resonance in Cardiology (CAMRIC). The VIP Group is currently working with the CMR research team to obtain another MR system that is dedicated to physics and medical image computing research.
