The MGH Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (CVCT) Core Laboratory is an independent facility dedicated to providing the highest quality services to the cardiovascular imaging community. They operate as a professional, compartmented PACS/RIS/Data Management facility capable of handling administrative and scientific aspects of large multicenter trials compliant with NIH/FDA regulations, and can provide high-level qualitative and quantitative analysis of cardiovascular CT data sets.


In addition, they offer advanced cardiac CT teaching by renowned faculty on dedicated state-of-the-art workstations from major vendors.


The mission is to:

  • Design and facilitate industrially- and federally-funded trials in compliance with FDA regulations
  • Provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of CT datasets for diagnosis of coronary atherosclerotic plaque and stenosis, as well as global and regional LV function
  • Elevate the competence of cardiac CT readers with our advanced course
  • Provide high-quality teleradiology services
  • Foster the development and validation of new computational assessment tools
