Imaging

Description

Medical imaging such as CT, MRI and PET scans can be used to make a diagnosis or prognosis, select therapy, monitor responses to therapy and yield pharmacokinetic information about drugs. EORTC’s Imaging research aims to establish and maintain the scientific and clinical value of advanced imaging. We develop specific analytical, review and quality control procedures in the context of EORTC clinical trials.

    (project leader: M. Smits) Three steps project:

    • Technical evaluation of acquisition a standardized protocol, centralized data storage, quality assurance.
    • Compare quantification to select and test post-processing tools, to standardize methodology for rCBV measurements and to assess inter- and intra- reader variability.
    • Prognostic value of rCBV to predict patient outcome.

    (project leader: J. Vandemeulebroucke)
    PICRIB is a clinical imaging platform that will enable the interoperability of the Brussels university hospitals and facilitate the patient mobility. EORTC is the WP7 lead, and provides guidance regarding standards applicable for imaging used in clinical trial e.g. images acquisition and interpretation, inter-institution quality assurance/ quality control.
