Our History

The CT Clinical Innovation Center was founded in 2004 by Dr. McCollough, a CT physicist with more than two decades of experience in CT imaging, along with Dr. Fletcher, a gastrointestinal radiologist and leader in the Mayo Clinic Department of Radiology's Division of Abdominal Imaging.

The center was founded in partnership with Siemens Healthcare, a leading manufacturer of medical imaging equipment. The partnership allows Mayo Clinic investigators and Siemens scientists to work together toward their mutual goals of developing and using new CT imaging technologies to improve patient care.
