Mission statement

The Imaging Consortium:

• provides expert consultation to assist clinical and translational investigators in the planning and design of medical imaging research
• educates about both general and current state of the art medical imaging and image processing capabilities. The courses are designed to better acquaint clinicians and scientists with the tools and technologies available in this important field.
• guides the CTSC participants about available resources in the use of imaging as part of clinical translational research.
• develops, through the Harvard Catalyst Medical Imaging Informatics Bench to Bedside Initiative mi2b2 and cross-institutional harmonization efforts, medical imaging informatics to support the clinical and translational research community and enable current and future large-scale medical image data exploration.
