 '''5. CTSC Meeting at ACRIN (Report from Annick)'''<br>
 Dan Sullivan chaired this meeting.
-Since the Harvard CTSC/Imaging Consortium is setting up a means of transferring data across institutions, it puts us in a leadership position for CTSC National Imaging effort.
+The Harvard CTSC is unique among CTSCs because it is a consortium. If the Imaging Consortium is successful in setting up a means of transferring data across institutions, it would put us in a leadership position for CTSC National Imaging effort.
