About Cardiac Imaging Research South Australia
Cardiac Imaging Research South Australia (CIRSA) is a not-for-profit cardiac imaging research organisation based in Adelaide, South Australia.
Core Lab
We are an academic research organisation (ARO) providing Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and Echocardiography (ECHO) core lab services in multicentre national and international clinical trials sponsored by the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries.
Research
We conduct investigator-initiated, grant-funded clinical research and imaging clinical trials.
Teaching
We are an internationally recognised CMR training facility in Australia. We provide education and training in Cardiac MRI to cardiologists and radiologists in Australia, North Asia and South East Asia. We are an accredited training site by the Society of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) for Level I, II and III CMR teaching courses and workshops.
CIRSA Profile
The objective of our organisation is to advance cardiovascular research through the use of cardiac imaging modalities. By applying advanced imaging techniques in clinical research, we aim to improve the understanding, detection and assessment of cardiovascular disease, evaluate disease progression and treatment response, and contribute to the development of more effective approaches to patient care. Ultimately, our research seeks to translate high-quality cardiac imaging into meaningful improvements in cardiovascular outcomes for people living with heart disease.
CIRSA Mission
- Conduct original research in new methods and application of cardiac imaging modalities in people with heart diseases.
- Educate and train cardiology and radiology researchers, clinicians, fellows and students in the use of cardiac imaging techniques in clinical research.
- Provide academic leadership and collaborate with research institutions and the biomedical industry in cardiac imaging research.
- Support and fund cardiac imaging research to improve cardiovascular care and patient outcomes.
