Goals to share with the individual imaging modality speakers

  • To provide a brief technical overview of the imaging modality.
  • To provide an overview of the imaging biomarkers that the modality can generate.
  • To provide one or two specific examples of the use of that modality in answering a clinical research question.
  • To provide an overview of technical and / or logistical issues in utilizing the modality.
  • Cost?
  • To address subject safety issues with that modality

Learning objectives

  • The participant will develop an understanding of the basic principles of the use of imaging biomarkers in clinical research.
  • The participant will become familiar with the application of cardiovascular ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and nuclear imaging in clinical research
  • The participant will understand the clinical imaging resources that are available through the Harvard Clinical and Translational Sciences Center (The Harvard Catalyst) Imaging Core.
  • The participant will develop a basic understanding of the life cycle of medical imaging data.
