Apply to the QIN: Quantitative Imaging for Evaluation of Responses to Cancer Therapies (U01) PAR-0811-225150
The Quantitative Imaging Network: Quantitative Imaging for Evaluation of Responses to Cancer Therapies 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 Phase 1 and 2 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). The goals require multidisciplinary efforts, include oncologists as well as clinical and basic imaging scientists as well as the involvement of industrial partners in the development and adaptation/implementation of quantitative imaging methods to aid cancer therapies.

The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) is currently being used as a mechanism to allow data sharing between sites. Eventually we hope to be able to make many of the data sets utilized in the context of QIN research available to the general public. Currently the following QIN data sets are publicly accessible:
