Harvard Translational Imaging Consortium Meeting Minutes February 2010

In attendance:

  • Valerie Humblet
  • Annick Van den Abbeele
  • Randy Gollub
  • Bob Lenkinski
  • Clare Tempany
  • Ron Kikinis
  • Simon Warfield
  • Gordon Williams
  • Charles Guttmann


1. Consultations

  • Imaging 119: CEST contrast agents: Bob will work with the PI on this consultation.
  • Imaging 116: Randy met with the PI who is preparing a K award.


2. Education program

  • Randy received a request from MGH CRP to teach an imaging basics class for Clinical Research Coordinators/Research Nurses. The CRC/RN have described the goal of the imaging basics course as: to demystify imaging for (non-clinically trained) clinical research coordinators so that (a) they might understand it better and (b) they, in turn, can explain imaging better to their research subjects.
    • Annick mentioned that there is already a nice portfolio that was created under the DFHCC umbrella, these sessions were very well attended.
    • Valerie will get in touch with Liz Salomon at MGH and the with the CRP team at BWH so we can also offer the modules on the Longwood campus.
    • Valerie and Jeff will give those talks.
  • So far we did not reach very well the investigators on the Harvard Campus, MIT (except for the HST course) and Mac Lean Hospital.
    • At MIT, Randy suggested to get on the neuroimaging seminar series. Jeff could give a talk about quantitative biomarkers.
    • At MacLean, Clare suggested to ask Emily Stern if she is interested in giving a talk over there.
  • For our half-day modules:
    • Valerie will reschedule the June 3rd one (oncologic imaging)
    • Greg Sorensen agreed to give a talk on quantitative neuroimaging biomarkers. Valerie will follow-up with him to check his availability.
    • Jeff has been working on the oncologic imaging program and will soon update the wiki.
