Core Laboratory Services

Our expertise

Since 2008, CERC provides centralized imaging and Core Lab services that ensure consistent, high-quality image acquisition, analysis, and interpretation across multicenter clinical trials.
Our experts combine deep scientific knowledge with advanced imaging technologies to deliver reliable and reproducible data, supporting accurate endpoint assessment and regulatory submissions.

Who we support

Medical device, pharmaceutical, and biotech sponsors requiring independent and standardized imaging analysis to validate study endpoints and enhance the scientific credibility of their results.
CERC supports both global multicenter trials and regional studies, adapting its services to each sponsor’s operational model.

Engagement options

• Full Core Lab management: from imaging protocol, design to data analysis, review, reporting and publication support.
• Specific analysis services: Angiography (coronary and peripheral),Intravascular imaging (OCT- IVUS), QFR, iFR, MRI,  Echocardiography (TTE, TEE), CT-scan (aortic & mitral valves, peripheric), Cardiac MRI, ECG and, aortography.
• Expert consulting: independent review or adjudication of imaging data.

What we deliver

• Imaging protocol development and site training for consistent acquisition
• Standardized image collection and quality control
• Independent and blinded image analysis by expert readers
• Quantitative and qualitative assessments (Angiography, QCA, IVUS, OCT, QFR, ECHO, CT scan, MRI, ECG)
• Data validation and central archiving
• Endpoint confirmation
• Comprehensive Core Lab reports and publication

Our process

1. Define: establish imaging strategy and protocols aligned with study endpoints.
2. Train: ensure consistent image acquisition across sites.
3. Collect: centralize and quality-check imaging data.
4. Analyze: perform blinded readings, quantitative and qualitative analyses.
5. 100% quality control review by an expert, guaranteeing completeness, accuracy, and reproducibility
6. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) guarantee high-quality outcomes
7. Report: deliver standardized reports and integrate findings into study outcomes.
