RPH Imaging Research Fund

In the late 1990s, Professor Michael Lawrence-Brown, Vascular Surgeon, and Mr David Hartley, Medical Imaging Technologist, developed an abdominal aortic stent graft while employed at Royal Perth Hospital (RPH). The royalties from this device sit under the governance of the East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) and are administered by a steering committee.

In 2015, funds were provided for two Professorial Chairs of Vascular Surgery and Radiology, and for research grants across the two specialities.

This established the RPH Imaging Research Fund.
