Harvard Translational Imaging Consortium Meeting Minutes November 11, 2008

In Attendance (in person):

  • Randy Gollub
  • Carolyn Zyloney
  • Ron Kikinis
  • Stephen Voss
  • Bill Hanlon
  • Bob Lenkinski
  • Clare Tempany
  • Annick D. Van den Abbeele


1. Discussion of the Harvard Catalyst Consultation Page

  • There was unanimous approval for the Consultation Page
  • The Consortium decided that there should be a link to each site's resources page. Each person's name should also link to their web-page. The default web page may be the Harvard White Pages. If Consortium members choose to include a link to their lab page or a personal web-page, it should be kept updated.
  • Biostatistics has included a web-based consultation request form on their web-page. If it is successful, the Imaging group will later be able to add this functionality.
  • The Imaging Liaison may be in charge of working on the Consultation Page for future updates


2. Physiological Monitoring System

  • The goal is to install identical physiological monitoring systems at each site.
    • Harvard and MIT have both requested that the CTSC purchase a physiological monitoring system.
    • Bob Lenkinski from BIDMC and Steven Voss from Children's Hospital have both expressed interest in setting up a physiological monitoring system at their sites as well.
    • Emily Stern is currently updating the imaging resources at BWH and may be installing a new physiological monitoring system as well.
  • These physiological monitoring systems are not FDA approved for clinical use and can only be used for research purposes.
  • The CTSC Imaging Consortium may also be able to provide ancillary supplies for image acquisition and physiological monitoring at each site.
  • The Imaging Group will hire an XNAT engineer to visit each site to set up these physiological monitoring systems and provide in-service trainings to both the users and maintenance personnel.


3. Update from Bill Hanlon's trip to Chicago

  • Notes from the meeting are available at
