Harvard Translational Imaging Consortium Meeting Minutes January 26, 2010

In attendance:

• Valerie Humblet
• Annick Van den Abbeele
• Randy Gollub
• Bob Lenkinski
• Clare Tempany
• Jeff Yap
• Ron Kikinis

1. Consultations

• Imaging-116: Dr Jong Woo Lee (BWH): Ron already helped the PI in the context of his K award, Randy will work with him on his request.

• Imaging-117: Dr Peter Caravan (MGH): Imaging probe translation. So far there is no core facility at Harvard that offer biodistribution and pharmacokinetics studies for IND preparation. Jeff and Annick offered to help the PI with a phase 0 study. Bob will also work on this consultation.

2. Education program

• Final dates and locations:

Monday March 22 (9 am-12 pm), Carrie Hall BWH (cardiovascular imaging)
Tuesday March 23 (2-5 pm), Simches 3.120 MGH (cardiovascular imaging)
Thursday April 1st (2-5 pm), Simches 3.120 MGH (neuroimaging)
Friday April 9 (8am-12 pm), Ledge Room (one brigham circle) BWH (neuroimaging)
Friday May 21 (8am-12 pm), Ducan Reid BWH (Imaging in oncology)
Thursday June 3 (2-5 pm), Simches 3.120 MGH (Imaging in oncology)

• Jeff and Annick asked for the June 3 tutorial to be reschedule earlier because they both will be out of town at the ASCO meeting. Valerie will contact MGH with a new set of dates to try to find a room.
• The neuroimaging group has already a first draft of the structure of its module: http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/CTSC:education_Neuroscience
  • The first lecture will be a series of cutting edge examples.
  • The second lecture, life cycle of medical imaging could be used for other lectures.
  • The 4th lecture, about resources will be a short talk, 10-15 minutes. Clare suggested to also add a list on where to get IT support for the image analysis.
• Imaging in oncology: http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/CTSC:education_Oncology
  • Jeff and Clare updated the link. Clare will give a lecture on image-guided intervention.
  • It would be very important to have a lecture on DCE-MRI and quantitative imaging biomarkers. It is an upcoming subject and oncology is not as far ahead as neuroimaging in that domain.
  • The oncology group will have enough material to fill 4 hours.
• Cardiology: http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/CTSC:education_Cardiology
  • Todd asked Marcelo Di Carli (BWH) to participate as an expert on nuclear medicine and he accepted.
