Radiology Clinical Research Imaging Core
The Radiology Clinical Research Imaging Core (RCRIC) provides Seattle Children’s investigators and extramural study teams with support for research data collection and image processing for radiological modalities, including:
- Digital and slot-scanning X-ray
- Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
- Ultrasound (diagnostic and elastography)
- Single- and dual-energy computed tomography (CT)
- 1.5 and 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI/MRS/DTI/fMRI)
- Nuclear medicine (PET/CT and SPECT/CT)
- Interventional procedures
Request RCRIC Services
Request RCRIC Services when submitting the CRSO Study Intake Form.
For exam de-identification, submit the ServiceNow ticket "Radiology Image Anonymization."
The three main categories of work performed are as follows:
- Study setup (post-award): Full study setup assistance for data collection or image management
- Research image de-identification: Anonymization of radiological images to be sent outside Seattle Children’s Hospital
- Radiation safety review: For research procedures requiring radiation (study protocol and consent forms required)
Note: Image de-identification and study setup require a budget number (LAN) prior to submission.

RCRIC is based within the Department of Radiology on Seattle Children’s hospital campus. RCRIC team members can be reached via email Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
