From Center for Quantitative Neuroimaging

Radiology Center for Quantitative and Personalized Neuroimaging and Translational Neuroimaging Research

Who Are We?

The Center for Quantitative and Personalized Neuroimaging and Translational Neuroimaging Research was founded in 2011 and provides an open venue for clinicians and imaging scientists with an interest in tools for quantitative imaging and advanced visualization to improve patient care.     

Our Goals

• To provide tools for clinicians using neuroimaging to improve patient care and get their jobs done efficiently by
  
  • providing problem specific cutting-edge image acquisition & analysis methods
    
  • developing clinically feasible end-to-end imaging solutions
    
  • translating successful neuroimaging tools from neuroscience research into the reading room
• To develop clinical data processing methods that
  • generate rapid report turn-around times using workflow-integrated analysis tools
    
  • provide 'bespoke' data processing and optimized analysis for the unique condition of individual patients
  • aid the early detection and long-term monitoring of neuropathology
    
• To provide a venue for researchers with a common interest in clinically-applied neuroimaging to
  • foster the rapid exchange of novel ideas
    
  • provide and exchange updates on state-of-the-art imaging tools for clinicians and basic scientists
    
• To provide a hands-on learning experience and collaborative multi-disciplinary efforts by
  
  • facilitating interaction between residents, clinical fellows, post-doctoral fellows, and students
    
  • encouraging team-oriented multi-disciplinary task forces
  • cultivating a very active and successful visiting researcher program (see below)

• We are pleased to announce that our grant proposal (2R01EB002711), "MR and CT Imaging for Understanding Acute Stroke Evolution and Predicting Response to Recanalization Therapy", has recently been awarded (June 2012). This continuation project is now in its 8th year and - thanks to the long-term support by NIBIB - many exciting technical and clinical discoveries could be made. We are looking forward to garner important clinical data during the next 4 years.
