CORE--IMAGE ANALYSIS

图像分析中心有13个主要目标：1）为所有CRC研究者提供一个集中的图像分析设施，使他们能够使用最先进的设备和分析技术，用于在各个研究单位进行的神经影像学研究。2)开发并提供必要的软件，以解决在处理MR和PET数据时出现的基本图像分析问题。3)执行MR和PET数据分析的常规任务，例如重新扫描和图像配准。4)识别用于分析成像数据的适当统计技术，并在与现有程序兼容的新软件中实施这些技术。5)开发新的软件，继续解决图像分析中的关键问题。6)为MH-CRC研究者提供图像分析技术培训。7)为新的研究者提供图像分析技术方面的咨询。8)旨在提供质量保证计划，以确保成像数据从采集开始到最终处理阶段具有最高质量。9)保持一个持续的计划，以评估和维护测量的可靠性。10)保持一个持续的计划，以评估和维护测量的可靠性。11)提供一个数据库管理程序，该程序将纳入关系数据库战略，以协助数据跟踪。12)维护文件和备份系统。13)维护CRC研究者可访问的成像数据库。这些目标是通过将硬件和软件集中在一个集中的有形设施-图像处理实验室-来实现的，该实验室配备有经验丰富的程序员和技术员。

The Image Analysis Core has thirteen major aims: 1) To provide a centralized facility for image analysis accessible to all CRC investigators, which gives them access to state-of-the-art equipment and analysis techniques for neuroimaging studies conducted on the various research units. 2) To develop and provide software that is necessary to solve basic image analysis problems that arise when working with MR and PET data. 3) To perform routine tasks for the analysis of MR and PET data, such as resampling and image registration. 4) To identify appropriate statistical techniques for analysis of imaging data and to implement them in new software that is compatible with existing programs. 5) To develop new software that will continue to address key questions in image analysis. 6) To provide training in image analysis techniques for MH-CRC investigators. 7) To provide consultation to new investigators on image analysis techniques. 8) To provide a quality assurance program to ensure imaging data of the highest possible quality, beginning with acquisition and continuing through final processing stages. 9) To maintain an ongoing program for assessing and maintaining reliability of measurements. 10) To maintain an ongoing program for assessing and maintaining reliability of measurements. 11) To provide a data base management program that will incorporate relational data base strategies in order to assist in data tracking. 12) To maintain files and backup systems. 13) To maintain a library of imaging data will be accessible to CRC investigators. These aims are achieved through the coalescence of hardware and software in a centralized physical facility, the Image Processing Laboratory, which is staffed by experienced programmers and technicians.
