Abstract

The Quantitative Imaging Network (QIN) grows from the NCI program announcement "Quantitative Imaging for Evaluation of Responses to Cancer Therapies". The network is designed to promote research and development of quantitative imaging methods for the measurement of tumor response to therapies in clinical trial settings, with the overall goal of facilitating clinical decision making. Projects include the appropriate development and adaptation/implementation of quantitative imaging methods, imaging protocols, and software solutions/tools (using existing commercial imaging platforms and instrumentation) and application of these methods in current and planned clinical therapy trials. The projects are focusing on imaging-derived quantitative measurements of responses to drugs and/or radiation therapy, and/or image-guided interventions (IGI). To achieve the goals of the QIN, multidisciplinary teams that include oncologists as well as clinical and basic imaging scientists are required. The involvement of industrial partners in the development and adaptation/implementation of quantitative imaging methods to aid cancer therapies is encouraged.

The 2014 Meeting of the QIN took place at the Natcher Center on the NIH Main Campus, in Bethesda, Maryland, on March 27-28th.
