Imaging in Clinical Trials/UPICT Group

The Imaging in Clinical Trials/UPICT Group is chaired by Gary Dorfman, MD, of the Weill Cornell Medical College. 

Members of this effort will specifically address issues related to:
Uniform Protocols for Imaging in Clinical Trials (UPICT)

The ongoing UPICT work, including the UPICT template, is posted on the UPICT wiki at http://upictwiki.ctsa-imaging.org.

Additionally, the Group is also considering:

  • Design of clinical trials that include imaging
  • Development of imaging endpoints that may be relevant to clinical trials
  • Standardizing image acquisition for the purpose of producing consistency in clinical trials
  • The role of Image Response Assessment Teams (IRATs) in clinical trials
  • Outlining strategies for the handling of protected health information of patients within trials that utilize imaging

Other topics may be added at the discretion of the group.

CTSA IWG SubGroups
The CTSA Imaging Working Group members are uniquely positioned to work together to address important questions or topics in clinical and research imaging. As a result of input provided by Imaging Working Group members from many CTSA sites, topic-specific subgroups have been formed. The subgroups meet by conference call and function independently to focus on specific questions of broad interest.
