Gastroenterology Division — GI Imaging & Endoscopy Core Lab
Intrinsic Imaging's Gastroenterology Division provides specialized imaging and independent review expertise for clinical trials evaluating gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, metabolic, and related abdominal and pelvic disorders. Supported by a network of more than 60 board-certified and fellowship-trained gastroenterologists, the Division combines deep clinical subspecialty expertise with rigorous imaging and assessment methodologies designed to produce consistent, reproducible, and clinically meaningful data across multicenter and global clinical trials. Our experience spans a broad range of acute and chronic gastrointestinal conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, short bowel syndrome, gastrointestinal ulcerative disease, and other complex disorders in which imaging, endoscopic evaluation, and objective assessment may play an important role in evaluating disease activity, progression, and therapeutic response.
The Gastroenterology Division supports a comprehensive range of imaging and diagnostic modalities, including CT and high-resolution CT, low-dose and advanced CT techniques, MRI, endoscopy, and nuclear imaging with quantitative methodologies. Intrinsic Imaging works collaboratively with sponsors to develop study-specific imaging strategies encompassing protocol development, imaging charter design, site and reader qualification, acquisition standardization, image and endoscopy quality control, centralized independent review, quantitative assessment, adjudication, and regulatory-ready data delivery. Particular attention is given to minimizing inter-site and inter-reader variability and maintaining consistent assessment methodologies across longitudinal timepoints—critical considerations when imaging or endoscopic findings contribute to efficacy, safety, disease-activity, or exploratory biomarker endpoints. By integrating experienced gastroenterology specialists with disciplined central-review processes and sophisticated imaging capabilities, Intrinsic Imaging provides the scientific, clinical, and operational expertise required to support complex gastroenterology clinical development programs from early-phase investigation through pivotal trials.

Central Endoscopy and GI Imaging Review
Our GI imaging and endoscopy core lab provides centralized independent review of endoscopy and imaging for inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, GERD, short bowel syndrome, ulcerative disease, and other gastrointestinal and abdominal disorders where objective assessment of disease activity matters.
CT, MRI and Quantitative Nuclear Imaging
We support high-resolution and low-dose CT, advanced CT techniques, MRI, endoscopy, and nuclear imaging with quantitative methodologies, with study-specific acquisition standards and image and endoscopy quality control.
Consistent Assessment Across Sites and Timepoints
Site and reader qualification, adjudication, and consistent methodology across longitudinal timepoints minimize inter-site and inter-reader variability for efficacy, safety, disease-activity, and exploratory biomarker endpoints.
