About CAMRI

CAMRI was created by Northwestern Radiology in Fall 2002 to promote imaging research at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. The primary research focus at CAMRI is cardiovascular and neuroimaging.

CAMRI is a 4,500 square foot space in the basement of the Olson building that houses state-of-the-art 3-Tesla and 1.5 Tesla Siemens Medical Solutions MR scanners. There is also a Siemens C-ARM angiographic system and an MR simulator system that can be used to train or acclimate subjects to the magnet environment.

CAMRI operations are overseen by Nondas Leloudas. He assists new investigators in getting started and adds his imaging expertise to any project. Nondas is a fully trained MR technologist and can provide assistance with scanner operations, setup and troubleshooting. Nursing support is also provided for studies that require monitoring or contrast agent administration. For technical assistance with protocols, equipment or imaging equipment, please contact Todd Parrish.
