“I am thrilled to share the remarkable progress and success of the Imaging Enhancement Centre (IEC) in Medical Imaging at the SJRH, which has witnessed an unprecedented response from healthcare professionals, patients, and stakeholders since its recent rollout.

Our visionary initiative to integrate cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing, artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality (AR)applications has proven to be a game-changer, elevating the standards of patient care, and revolutionizing the field of medical imaging and pre-surgical planning.

-Zack Kilburn, Interim Vice President Professional Services

“Being part of the Lion’s Den Competition was one of the most exciting and enjoyable things I’ve done so far in my career.

I would definitely encourage anyone who is interested in something like this to apply!

Throughout the competition, we had the full support of the SJRH Foundation, who guided us step-by-step through the entire process. Taking part in something like this was initially outside of my comfort zone, and certainly different than my typical day-to-day tasks. The Foundation made it easy though to jump in with both feet! We were immensely pleased and proud of the final pitch video.

It was a great opportunity to highlight the need for better laboratory testing for those with substance use disorder and allowed us to bring awareness of this need to a far greater audience than we could have reached on our own.”
