The American College of Radiology's (ACR) Image Metrix imaging contract research organization is expanding its global capabilities across all continents, with the exception of Antarctica.
Currently, Philadelphia-based ACR Image Metrix utilizes three global locations to provide assistance to overseas entities conducting clinical studies. Since 2007, ACR Image Metrix has conducted more than 34 trials in North America, 28 trials in Europe, and 14 trials in Asia.
ACR Image Metrix also has performed site training, evaluation, and qualification to multiple centers in Western Europe, North America, South America, South Africa, the Middle East (Israel and Saudi Arabia), Eastern Europe, Asia (South Korea and Singapore), and Australia.

The CT image is shown in the axial plane. The PMV is automatically extracted using the developed deep learning model and overlayed onto the lungs for visual clarity.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/03/genkin.25LqljVF0y.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&crop=focalpoint&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
