Welcome! These wiki pages are meant to encourage quick and efficient communication among the Harvard Catalyst Imaging Consortium and the broader Harvard Catalyst community. We welcome interested visitors from other CTSC and the medical imaging community in general. If you are interested in an introduction to the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center, please go to our main web page: Harvard Catalyst. | ||
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.
