An efficient technical unit

As a medical technological innovation and research partner, CIC-IT is located as close as possible to the imaging facilities in the Nancy Regional University Hospital Center (Nancy Brabois CHRU).

 

Some MRI of Nancy Brabois CHRU have a direct access:

  • 3Tesla: 24h dedicated per week (40% for investigation (basic and clinical) / 60% for medical exams)
  • 1,5Tesla: 3h dedicated per week

Additionally, Nancy CIC-IT has adapted equipments to achieve required elements for the studies or the pre-tests:

  • Mechanical workshop
  • Electronics workshop
  • Stations for post-treatments (cardiology, neurology, etc.)
  • Stations for the creation of test objects (« ghosts »)
  • IT park
  • Post-treatment, and data storage softwares.
  • Pre-clinical platform INSPiRE

Lots of players around us!

Our supervisors

As a public entity within Nancy CIC, within the unit of Research Supporting Structure (S²R) of Nancy CHRU, Nancy CIC-IT is ruled by partnership agreements with Université de Lorraine (University of Lorraine, UL) and INSERM (National Institute for Health and Medical Research).

Nancy CHRU

More than a supervisor!

 
 

CIC-IT is located in the premises of Nancy Brabois CHRU, which facilitates access to the MRIs used in clinique, to potential investigators, etc.

The National network of CIC-ITs: a referent in health technologies

  • For more efficiency and more cross-working, CIC-ITs have been working in a  national network since 2003.
    Dedicated to innovation and research in health technologies, the mission of the CIC-IT network is to coordinate all the CICI-ITs, to pool skills and to foster all the initiatives that meet the expectations of research, industry and health organizations.
    There are currently 8 CIC-ITs all over France, and each one is expert in a particular field. For more information, please click on the CIC-IT network logo.

Partner laboratories and industries

The IADI Laboratory, a special partner!

  • We work closely with the INSERM U947 Interventional and Diagnostic Adaptive Imaging Unit (IADI), which obtained the quality label in 2009. It aims at:
      • Developing techniques and methods to improve moving parts imaging,
      • Treating signal and imaging,
      • Performing methodology and clinical validations.

Healtis, a start-up from our developments

  • The Healtis society was founded in 2012 from the developments that were conducted both at the IADI and the CIC-IT, in MRI safety.
    Healtis offers several services. Including:  

      • Assessing interactions between MRI and  devices: MRI compatibility tests;
      • Assisting the medical device (MD) designers when new products are developed;
      • Training staff to work safely in MRI.

Structures which put their trust in us!

F-CRIN, an infrastructure in which we play a role

  • F-CRIN, for « French Clinical Research Infrastructure Network », is the French component of ECRIN (European Clinical Research Infrastructures Network), a European infrastructure which supports the development of multinational clinical trials.
    « F-CRIN is not a sponsor: it is above all a facilitator in clinical research which aims at opening up the existing structures and supporting the projects of those who achieved professional excellence in their projects. »
    F-CRIN gave the quality label to two service platforms, and Nancy CIC-IT is one of them:
      • Partners (PArtners foR inTernational cliNical rEseaRchS)
      • Tech4Health, dedicated to medical devices, to e-health and to biomaterials.
