RESEARCH OFFICE LAUNCHES NEW IMAGING
COLLABORATION SERVICE
RICO, short for the Research Imaging Collaboration Office, is a new resource for the centralized and efficient coordination of industry-sponsored studies utilizing radiology imaging services. RICO'S team works within the Department of Radiology to facilitate research projects by meeting project-specific imaging needs. For investigators, the new intake process comprehensively evaluates a research project for radiology protocol nuances, needs, and specifications. Once collect all necessary information is collected from the protocol, this team of trained radiologists, technicians, and research administrators will provide a detailed letter of support including a study budget for radiology imaging services (based on CPT codes) and departmental services and associated fees. If you have a new industry-sponsored research project needing radiology services, please complete the in- take survey application on the Department of Radiology website. A department team member will contact you within two business days for any outstanding information.
