Gather ideas from group for vision of what we could/should do

  • Unanimous agreement that this Consortium envisions itself as an expert consulting body to the CTSC and the affiliated academic medical centers in the domain of medical imaging. Consensus agreement that this group is willing to systematically explore, discuss and then come to agreement on policies for medical imaging related issues that are causing obstacles for clinical translational investigators.

Specific examples include:

  1. Screening forms/policies for MRI scanning
  2. MRI safety training procedures for staff
  3. Recommendations for screening prior to injection of gadolinium contrast
  • Consensus that it will take some time to come to a clear view of what domains of infrastructure/expertise/etc should be disseminated across our sites and what should be centralized at some or one site. Agreed that there will not be a "one size fits all" solution. Randy and Bruce to gather more information on the level of resources available to the Consortium to guide this decision making.

1. Consultation Service


2. Education Program Randy has update

3. Collaborative response to Harvard wide Technology White Paper


4. Curation of Site resources Show website and get feedback for how to organize

5. Regulatory Issues Lowering barrier to utilization (GAC review? Applications????)
