The main research area of the INSERM-U1254 unit, IADI (Adaptive Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging) concerns health technologies.

The unit research activities arise from two main domains of expertise: (i) MRI instrumentation and safety with the development and validation of new MRI sensors and devices, and (ii) MRI acquisition and reconstruction with the development of innovative methods for motion correction.

One innovative research project focuses on “electro-imaging”, imaging of tissue electrical properties by fusing information from MRI and electrophysiological signals (ECG) in order to develop new tools for interventional cardiology. Other more emerging projects include dynamic MRI, woman imaging, structural and functional spine imaging and nuclear medicine.

The IADI laboratory is part of a large university and hospital community of researchers, engineers, research support staff and clinicians. It relies on its hospital environment within the CHRU of Nancy and its strong collaboration with the CIC-IT (Nancy Clinical Investigation Center – Innovative Technology), specialized in clinical validation and valorization of MRI methods, to initiate new collaborative projects, to conduct clinical studies and thus transfer proofs of concepts and prototypes from lab research projects to clinic practice.
