Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Interventional Centre

AMIIC logo The Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Interventional Centre (AMIIC) provides world-leading clinical research in parallel with high-end clinical services. Our aim is to deliver state-of-the-art multidisciplinary research by providing the research infrastructure linking interventional, non-invasive imaging (photon counting CT) and artificial intelligence/big data capabilities.

At the same time, the centre supports education and clinical training as well as clinical care, by working together with the Oxford University Medical Sciences Division and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

About AMIIC

The Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Interventional Centre (AMIIC) has been launched in its current form in June 2022, and is led by Professor Charalambos Antoniades, British Heart Foundation Chair of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford. AMIIC comprises of three pillars: (a) Big Data/Artificial Intelligence (b) Advanced photon counting Computed Tomography Imaging (c) Invasive imaging and interventions (interventional suite).

Research in AMIIC

AMIIC is a multi-functional unit that supports a broad range of research projects, with a common acute vascular theme. Clinical research fellows work closely with scientists from a range of disciplines (physicists, engineers) in the development and application of imaging for characterisation of cardiovascular disease, stroke and vascular disorders and for assessment of response to treatment.

AI analysis of routine heart scans can predict risk of a developing heart problems ten years in advance, new research finds

30 May 2024

A research team led by scientists at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology which can accurately predict the risk of a heart attack, heart failure or cardiac death from routine cardiac CT scans, up to ten years in advance.

AI tool could help thousands avoid fatal heart attacks

14 November 2023

An Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool that can predict 10-year risk of deadly heart attacks, could transform treatment for patients who undergo CT scans to investigate chest pain, according to British Heart Foundation (BHF)-funded research presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions in Philadelphia.
