Strategically placed iMRI provides real time imaging

UChicago iMRI

Anderson Mikos Architects was retained by UChicago Medicine to renovate shell space into an intraoperative MRI (iMRI). At the completion of this project, UChicago Medicine became one of only 12 hospitals providing this cutting edge technology in complex neurosurgery. The iMRI enables real-time functional MRI scans, giving surgeons the ability to identify potential complications in just seconds. Historically, complex neurosurgeries required patients to be transported mid procedure to another floor for imaging which added risk and extended procedure times. The new iMRI suite was strategically placed on the surgical floor between two operating rooms reducing risk in addition to providing surgeons with real time imaging.

U.S. National Director for International Child Care

The energy that was being generated from this team was amazing. Without any doubt in my mind, ICC would not have been able to accomplish what we did in the planning process and working with the local contractors if it had not been for the expertise of Dave Mikos and his team. Their enthusiasm, extraordinary skills and knowledge of how to plan and facilitate the project were invaluable to ICC.

Some of the staff were in tears because of the beauty and quality of the building. Not sure if any complimentary words can beat tears for positive feedback. Nice work!

The collaboration on-site has been like nothing I have seen in 26 years of military service. From day one, everyone brought their A-team, everyone brought an attitude focused on delivering the outcome and really focused on delivering the mission. Everyone worked hand-in-hand to overcome challenges and problems that otherwise would have taken weeks, if not months to solve.

Dave, I just wanted to let you know that you and your team have been a great partner as we work through the Lakeland ED design efforts… You are fully engaged as part of the project team and ready to support the owner and others in any way that you can. It is appreciated and does not go unnoticed. Thank you for making the project meetings enjoyable with some laughs, but also bringing a high level of expertise to the meetings. I can see the passion and drive for good design while also being active listeners to the end users...
From a Survey

Patient at Northwestern Medical Grayslake Outpatient Center

Likelihood to Recommend Location: 10
Location Comment: The recent choice to manage diagnostic mammograms and screening mammograms in separate areas was brilliant and makes all the difference in specialized care. This was the first time I didn’t have to wait hours for a diagnostic while surrounded by women who were in and out after their screenings and I was able to remain calm and feel truly cared about for the first time in decades. Thank you for that most excellent change in your processes. Best move ever.

I've worked on numerous spaces with AMA, including highly technical projects such as a lab and pharmacy that required precision in every detail. The AMA Team has always been responsive and timely. They listen and add value. Any healthcare site would benefit with AMA as a partner.
