翻译课题组 CORE 008-动物和人类影像共享资源 项目摘要/摘要 动物和人类影像共享资源(AHISR)已得到癌症中心支持 格兰特(CCSG)自2004年以来。AHISR为实验提供科学和技术援助 在临床前和临床环境中研究癌症的生物医学成像，并将承担 为满足范德比尔特-英格拉姆癌症中心(VICC)的需求而进行的开发。其中的教职员工 AHISR提供最先进的成像设施，包括先进的人体核磁共振系统 在3T和7T下运行，以及动物成像和研究的综合设施 动物和人用放射性药物。此外，AHISR利用 VICC与范德比尔特大学成像科学研究所(VUIIS)共同开发新的和改进的 获取解决与癌症直接相关的研究问题的信息的方法。更多 具体地说，AHISR提供： 1.与成像科学专家合作(在核、光学、磁共振和 超声成像)用于开发和应用尖端成像协议 2.用于动物和人体影像研究的创新和新型放射性药物 3.为处理病人和动物的成像系统操作员和技术人员提供支持 仪器的准备、监测和操作 4.支持数据分析和针对特定应用定制的定量图像分析， 包括多种模式、组织学和蛋白质组学的联合注册和整合 AHISR将昂贵的设备和不同的专业知识整合为一个全面的 资源。通过AHISR支持致力于癌症成像的专业工作人员将确保 成像数据的质量，以及研究的整体质量，是可能达到的最高水平。

TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH GROUP CORE 008 – ANIMAL AND HUMAN IMAGING SHARED RESOURCE PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Animal and Human Imaging Shared Resource (AHISR) has been supported by the Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) since 2004. The AHISR provides scientific and technical assistance for experiments employing biomedical imaging to study cancer in both the preclinical and clinical settings, and will undertake developments to meet the needs of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC). The faculty and staff within the AHISR provide access to state-of-the-art imaging facilities including advanced human MRI systems operating at 3T and 7T as well as a comprehensive facility for animal imaging and research radiopharmaceuticals for animal and human use. Furthermore, the AHISR leverages the resources in the VICC with the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science (VUIIS) to develop new and improved methods for obtaining information that addresses research questions of direct cancer relevance. More specifically, the AHISR provides: 1. Collaborations with expert imaging science faculty (in nuclear, optical, magnetic resonance and ultrasound imaging) for the development and application of cutting-edge imaging protocols 2. Innovative and novel radiopharmaceuticals for animal and human imaging research 3. Support for imaging system operators and technical staff who will handle patient and animal preparation and monitoring as well as operate the instruments 4. Support for data analysis and for quantitative image analysis customized to specific applications, including the co-registration and integration of multiple modalities, histology and proteomics The AHISR brings together expensive equipment and diverse expertise into a comprehensive integrated resource. Supporting a professional staff dedicated to cancer imaging through the AHISR will ensure that the quality of the imaging data, and consequently, the overall quality of studies, is the highest possible.
