September 8th (9:00 a.m. MDT)

Title: Multi-centre Longitudinal Quantitative ADC QA using a Room Temperature ADC phantom

Summary: Work spanning 2 years, 9 scanners at 5 centers to evaluate repeatability and reproducibility of quantitative ADC measurements in preparation for longitudinal clinical trials incorporating quantitative ADC as a biomarker of cancer, using the qMRI room temperature ADC phantom. Study results and discussion of the utility of the phantom.

Speaker Bio: Chris Moore – clinical scientist, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.  Chris completed an undergraduate physics degree at The University of Manchester. After a brief time as a software engineer, he successfully applied for the Scientist Training Programme (STP) in medical physics. He completed the programme in September 2021 and has taken on a clinical role in the MR group.  Chris splits his time between regional physics support and providing research support to the Radiotherapy Related Research group, with research interests including image registration, quantitative MR imaging biomarkers and longitudinal quantitative quality assurance of DWI images.

Format:  One Houre Session.  Talk followed by Q&A.

Topic: Traumatic Brain Injury, the TRACK-TBI Study, Data, and Quantitative Imaging
Guest Speaker:  Dr. Pratik Mukherjee MD, PhD, UCSF

Dr. Mukherjee is a Professor in Residence in the Department Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, Bioengineering, and he is an attending neuroradiologist at the University of California, San Francisco. He is the Director of the Center for Imaging of Neurodegenerative Disease (CIND) based at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. He also directs the Neural Connectivity Laboratory (NCL) at UCSF China Basin.

 Dr. Mukherjee’s primary clinical research is the study of neurodevelopmental disorders and traumatic brain injury (TBI) using advanced neuroimaging and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technology. His research has been focused on technical development, neuroscience and clinical applications of advanced imaging methods for mapping structure and function of the human brain, especially diffusion MRI, which is a popular technique for assessing the development and integrity of white matter and for mapping axonal fiber pathways.
 Scope:  Dr. Mukherjee will discuss his work on traumatic brain injury with the TRACK-TBI trial and on advanced neuroimaging and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technology.

Multiparametric Tissue Mimics for Breast Imaging and Medical Device Testing

We present our work on developing anatomically realistic, quantitative multiparametric MRI (qMRI) phantoms designed to standardize imaging of both healthy and diseased breast tissue. The lack of standardized, morphology-accurate phantoms currently limits the effectiveness of qMRI in both clinical and research settings. Without realistic tissue-mimicking models, radiologists, technologists, and researchers face challenges in learning optimal acquisition protocols and interpreting quantitative data.
