BRF’s CMIT is a world-class molecular imaging facility with clinical, research and radiopharmaceutical manufacturing operations housed near Shreveport, Louisiana’s downtown and on the InterTech Park campus with proximity to Ochsner LSU Health, an Ochsner- and LSU-led hospital and Level 1 Trauma Center, and LSU’s medical school.

 

CMIT’s clinical mission is to provide patients with access to state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, as well as increase the clinical and pre-clinical research capacities of partner research institutions. The ability to produce novel radiopharmaceuticals sets CMIT apart from other facilities that offer a similar suite of clinical, research and radiopharmaceutical manufacturing services. 

 

In 2024, CMIT’s parent, non-profit organization BRF worked with U.S. Senator Dr. Bill Cassidy to acquire Louisiana’s and the region’s first uPanorama 35, a 160-slice scanner with AI capabilities and one of the most technologically advanced imaging devices in the country.
