Basic research at the DCMRC is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and total approximately $500,000 per year. Current research is aimed towards understanding: 1) the physiologic information portrayed by magnetic resonance images of the heart; and 2) the clinical utility of this information. The DCMRC is currently developing additional research projects in collaboration with investigators within Duke University and with investigators at other medical instiutions.
