1. Consultations update

  • This week we did not received any new request. All the open request are being taking care of.


2. Education program for 2011

  • Valerie is working with Liz Salomon at MGH to develop the curriculum for research coordinators and nurses. The first 2 lectures will be : risks and benefits of imaging and MRI safe practice. A third lecture on radiation and dosimetry needs to be developed. Valerie will get in touch with Lisa Horton at BWH to offer the same series in the Longwood area. The key for this type of audience is to do the series at every site.
  • Jeff is working on a module about CT and dosimetry that will be offered at DFCI first but the venue will be open to people from the other institutions.
  • In radiation oncology, on the physicist side, they want to create a certification, Jeff has been approached to see if imaging people could give imaging lectures.
  • Ivan suggested to create a series on angiogenesis. Different imaging modalities can be showcased: US with or without contrast, nuclear medicine etc. We have to brainstorm about the format, either a whole day seminar or a series of 1h lectures.
  • New Slicer workshops will be scheduled at Countway and at MIT.
  • Valerie will work with Cindy Fiducia, Director of postgraduate education at Harvard Catalyst to ensure that there is a good coordination between their education group and us.
