Empowering Imaging in Translational Research: The Harvard Catalyst Imaging Consortium Education Program

The Harvard Catalyst Imaging Consortium is dedicated to enhancing the application of imaging in translational research. We offer comprehensive lectures, tutorials, and educational resources designed for junior investigators, clinical departments, and research facilitators. Our program collaborates with imaging consultation services to curate reusable content, which is disseminated nationally through various health organizations. Focused on key disciplines like oncology, neuroscience, and cardiology, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of imaging methodologies and their significance in clinical trials.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Harvard Catalyst Imaging Consortium Education Program

  2. Mission Statement • Catalyst Imaging Consortium will provide lectures, tutorials, and educational materials to promote the use of imaging in translational research across the Harvard Catalyst institutions • Will interface with imaging consultation service to develop library of reusable lectures and reach broader audience • Educational program will be disseminated throughout national networks including other CTSAs, IRATs, RSNA, ACRIN, ASCO, ASTRO

  3. Target Audience • Junior investigators pursuing an academic/research career • Disease programs/clinical departments • Basic science labs/academic departments • Radiology/imaging departments • Research Facilitators • Catalyst navigators • Clinical research coordinators and nurses • OHRS/IRB staff

  4. Discipline-based initiatives • Oncology (utilize existing DF/HCC multi-institutional IRB) • Neuroscience • Cardiology • Pediatrics • Others

  5. Generic Imaging Modules • Basic principles of imaging (acquisition, reconstruction, post-processing, visualization, analysis) • Imaging Modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, PET/CT, US, optical) • Properties measured (electon/proton density, perfusion, glucose metabolism) • Quantitative methods (response assessment) • Clinical trial design with imaging endpoints • Imaging risks and informed consent forms • Ionizing radiation • Contrast agents (gadolinium, iodine, microbubbles) • Claustrophobia • MRI magnet safety

  6. Next step: Timelines
