• Project aims to increase access of advanced imaging techniques for clinicians to help drive improved diagnosis and management of female pelvic diseases and conditions, such as endometriosis and ovarian cancer.
• The Center for Translational Imaging and Precision Medicine (CTIPM) at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine will develop new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols and educational materials for women's imaging.

GE HealthCare today announced a collaboration with the University of California San Diego School of Medicine to investigate advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols and techniques for female-specific diseases and conditions of the pelvis and develop comprehensive educational materials for clinicians. The goal of the project is to elevate women's pelvic health, filling an important gap in medical research and care. Its results have the potential to enable clinicians to make more informed decisions, diagnose diseases and conditions faster and provide increased access to quality pelvic care for women.

The Center for Translational Imaging and Precision Medicine (CTIPM) at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine will be the collaborating site to conduct the project. The project will be led by Rebecca Rakow-Penner, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology and Bioengineering at UC San Diego and Deputy Director for CTIPM.
