Alfred Health
Established in 2002, The Alfred Radiology Research Unit was the first radiology research unit in Australia. We continue to be a leader in cutting-edge radiology and interventional radiology research. We are a preferred Australian site for many trials, including vascular and oncology device trials and conducting first-in-human to pivotal and post-market trials.
We are committed to partnering with industries and organisations specialising in clinical trials and research.
Our research focuses on improving patient care through evidence-based medicine and partnering with industry to facilitate the translation of innovation into clinical practice.
Diagnostic imaging and Interventional radiology has an essential role across all medical disciplines for the diagnosis of diseases, monitoring of therapy and for treatment using image guided, minimally invasive procedures. This is reflected in the broad range of internal, collaborative and commercially-sponsored research conducted by our department.
Our clinical trials are underpinned by state-of the art imaging facilities and the support of our medical, radiographer, medical physics and nursing staff.
There are four different phases of a medical device clinical trial.
ClinTrial Refer is a quick way to see all of our open trials, in one place. It’s the easy way to find a trial that may be right for you or your patient.
Treating brain cancer is a team effort, when a person is suspected of having a brain tumour they’ll begin their journey through treatment, starting with the first stop - Neuroradiology.
A new device that targets hard-to-kill tumours is the focus of a research trial led by The Alfred's interventional radiology team.
