Clinical Trial Services

The Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center (BNAC) is a dedicated research center that has expertise in stroke and cerebrovascular diseases clinical trials. Our researchers utilize both qualitative and quantitative analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance and digital subtraction angiography for clinical research. 

We served as a Clinical Core Lab for a number of stroke and cerebrovascular disease clinical trials. BNAC also collaborates actively on stroke and cerborovascular disease research with Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the Gates Vascular Institute.
