The radiology department of the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center is seeking Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with one or more medical equipment manufacturers. The CRADAs, which enable the NIHCC and companies to collaborate on research projects, cover MRI, MR spectroscopy, molecular imaging, image processing, and image-guided surgery.
The objective of the project is the rapid publication of research findings and the timely commercialization of improved diagnostic and treatment strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on discoveries that enhance clinical research, according to the NIHCC. While the NIHCC does not contribute funding, the center can offer collaborators access to facilities, staff, materials, and expertise.
Collaborators can also elect an option to be an exclusive or nonexclusive licensee to government intellectual property rights arising under the CRADA and may qualify as a co-inventor of new technology that is developed under the agreement. For more information, contact Steve Galen at 301/594-4509. Statements of interest must be received by Dec. 10, with formal proposals due 30 days later.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
