Harvard Translational Imaging Consortium Meeting Minutes November 11, 2008

In Attendance (in person):

1. Discussion of the Harvard Catalyst Consultation Page

There was unanimous approval for the Consultation Page
The Consortium decided that there should be a link to each site's resources page. Each person's name should also link to their web-page. The default web page may be the Harvard White Pages. If Consortium members choose to include a link to their lab page or a personal web-page, it should be kept updated.
Biostatistics has included a web-based consultation request form on their web-page. If it is successful, the Imaging group will later be able to add this functionality.
The Imaging Liaison may be in charge of working on the Consultation Page for future updates

2. Physiological Monitoring System

The goal is to install identical physiological monitoring systems at each site.
- Harvard and MIT have both requested that the CTSC purchase a physiological monitoring system.
- Bob Lenkinski from BIDMC and Steven Voss from Children's Hospital have both expressed interest in setting up a physiological monitoring system at their sites as well.
- Emily Stern is currently updating the imaging resources at BWH and may be installing a new physiological monitoring system as well.
These physiological monitoring systems are not FDA approved for clinical use and can only be used for research purposes.
The CTSC Imaging Consortium may also be able to provide ancillary supplies for image acquisition and physiological monitoring at each site.
The Imaging Group will hire an XNAT engineer to visit each site to set up these physiological monitoring systems and provide in-service trainings to both the users and maintenance personnel.
