CTSA IMAGING WORKING GROUP SUBGROUPS
The Development and Management of Imaging Core Resources and Services Group/Education in Imaging subgroup is co-chaired by Brian Reynolds, PhD, of Duke University and Katarzyna Macura, MD, PhD, of Johns Hopkins University.
The subgroup addresses issues related to imaging cores including:
- Defining what constitutes an institutional imaging core;
- Creating an inventory of available imaging technology at an institution;
- Determining what value-added imaging tools can be made available to researchers across the institution;
- Developing user agreements and pricing strategies for the utilization of both imaging equipment and the consulting services of imaging subject matter experts;
- Strategies to enhance awareness of the core’s existence and knowledge on how it may provide benefit to investigators; and
- Examining how an imaging core might provide general guidance and education regarding imaging methodologies to investigators.
Related to education in imaging, the objectives of the group are to:
-
Educate the broad medical community about imaging's role and capabilities in translational research; and
-
Educate the radiology community and trainees about emerging imaging technologies, successful uses of imaging in translational research at other CTSA institutions and methods of engaging themselves in translational research.
Other topics may be added at the discretion of the group.
