Radiology Research

Radiology at Nemours Children’s Health serves a pivotal function within the research ecosystem, employing advanced medical imaging modalities to investigate and resolve a broad spectrum of medical challenges.

The Nemours Enterprise Radiology Research Program (ERRP) supports investigators through all stages of research studies involving radiology and medical images. Acting as a central resource, ERRP manages research needs through consultation and review of protocols and provides comprehensive solutions for the use of radiology services and/or medical images for research and academic purposes. The program ensures research compliance, protocol adherence, protection of human subjects and their information, and support for fiscally responsible practices. Operating under a Shared Responsibility business model, ERRP fosters interdependent investigation and study across radiology, research, and enterprise imaging informatics.
