Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Interventional Centre (AMIIC), University of Oxford

The Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Interventional Centre (AMIIC) is an internationally unique research centre for clinical cardiac and brain research in the emergency setting. The Centre opened formally in 2011. AMIIC comprises a big data/artificial intelligence facility, linked with the world’s first hybrid photon counting Computed Tomography suite conjoined to an invasive angiography laboratory. It accommodates the work of an interactive consortium of clinical investigators from University Departments and the NHS, across a range of specialties. AMIIC focuses primarily on clinical research studies in patients with ‘acute vascular syndromes’, and also develops and implements advanced imaging methods, especially computed tomography. The Radcliffe Department of Medicine takes lead responsibility for the Centre, including its administration, with close links to the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. AMIIC provides high-end clinical services to NHS patients, in parallel to providing world-leading clinical research in big data, artificial intelligence, imaging and novel interventional procedures.
