Medical Imaging Core Lab

ISO Certified Imaging Core Lab

Founded in 2010, Intrinsic Imaging is a full-service medical imaging core lab and imaging CRO providing comprehensive services in support of Phase I-IV clinical trials and Class I, II, III medical device trials — from imaging charter development and site qualification through blinded independent central review (BICR) and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant data delivery.

We turn imaging into reliable efficacy and safety endpoints, measuring imaging biomarkers consistently across sites, scanners, readers, and timepoints. Intrinsic Imaging is also a world leader in conducting Artificial Intelligence / CAD studies.

With our team of 1000+ board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians, Intrinsic Imaging has subspecialization in all therapeutic areas, including Oncology, Cardiovascular, Central Nervous System, Gastroenterology, Musculoskeletal and Ophthalmology.

Imaging Capabilities Across the Clinical Development Program

Intrinsic Imaging connects subspecialty interpretation with quantitative imaging and controlled trial operations. Sponsors can combine anatomic, functional and molecular imaging within one coordinated core lab workstream.

From Scan Acquisition to Measurable Endpoints

Our capabilities span CT, MRI, PET/CT, SPECT, ultrasound, echocardiography, radiography, DXA, angiography, intravascular imaging, retinal imaging and central endoscopy review. We match each method to the indication, acquisition requirements and endpoint, rather than applying one reading model to every trial.

Imaging Biomarkers, Radiomics and Independent Evidence

We support tumor measurements, brain and tissue volumes, cardiac function, liver fat and stiffness, bone density and retinal structural measures. Quantitative imaging and radiomics workflows include segmentation review, method specification and reproducibility checks. Independent central review and adjudication connect those measurements to the protocol’s efficacy, safety and exploratory analyses.
