Manipal Imaging Research Suite (MIRS)

The Medical Imaging Research Suite (MIRS) at MAHE is a collaborative research facility established as part of the partnership between MAHE and Philips.

MIRS

Overview

MIRS was set up as a result of the joint research activities between MAHE and Philips, focusing on healthcare innovation in the area of imaging. It is located at Kasturba Medical College, Manipal.

Goals &

Objective

MIRS aims to facilitate research in medical imaging, bringing together students, faculty, clinicians, and engineers to work on healthcare innovations.

Facilitate students and faculty to conduct research in medical imaging, leading to publications, patents, and products
Train professionals and faculty in clinical domains with industry support
Collaborate with academic sites working in similar areas
Offer internships and projects, providing opportunities for students to work on healthcare projects under the guidance of radiologists and engineers

Types of Medical Imaging Technologies

While MiRS might not specifically use all these technologies, its focus on developing smart imaging tools could involve leveraging open-source platforms to enhance or integrate these imaging modalities.
