Welcome

The Oxford Acute Vascular Imaging Centre (AVIC) at the John Radcliffe Hospital is an internationally unique facility dedicated to clinical research in acute coronary syndromes (heart attack and unstable angina) and stroke and TIA.

AVIC is a purpose-designed Clinical Research Centre embedded in a hospital environment. The centre contains ‘high-dependency’ bays with facilities for full medical support including anaesthesia. At its core is a fully-equipped interventional angiography suite, functionally conjoined to a 3T MRI scanner by a mechanised rapid transfer system.
