GE Healthcare has signed a multiyear research agreement with the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, teaming up to establish a Center for Research Excellence in Breast Cancer Imaging within UNC's Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC).
With funding provided by GE, the center will perform breast imaging research, including an evaluation of the role of contrast-enhanced mammography in breast cancer diagnosis, the development of image processing in digital mammography, and mechanisms to reduce radiation dose to mammography patients, according to the Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.-based vendor.
An advisory board of GE and UNC representatives will consult on the center's research, education, and service agenda.
