This proposal is to continue the NINDS Center Core for Brain Imaging (NCCBI) at Washington University. During its five years of operation, the NCCBI has become an integral resource for the University's neuroscience community, and during this time, imaging research has continued to evolve. Neuroimaging studies have become more expansive in terms of the number of research subjects involved, the types of image acquisitions utilized in protocols, the diversity of non-imaging measures that are included, and the extent of image post-processing and analysis that is conducted. The goal of the Center in the next funding cycle is to support the evolving practices of the University's neuroimaging community. The Center will achieve the following specific aims: 1. We will facilitate high throughput, highly interdisciplinary neuroimaging research. A software and hardware infrastructure will be deployed that will unify the imaging facilities, informational resources, and analytic capabilities into an organized and secure research platform. Key components will include DICOM data exchange services, an XNAT-based imaging informatics system, and integrated automated analysis pipelines. This infrastructure will be backed with expert consultation services, comprehensive documentation, and an extensive training program. 2. We will facilitate the transition of emergent imaging and analysis methods into production-grade research assets. A set of imaging methods have been identified that have associated anlysis methods that are at various stages in the development pipelines, including anatomic MRI; diffusion tensor imaging; positron emission tomography studies of flow, metabolism and radioligand binding; arterial spin labeling MRI; and quantitative blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) MRI. Through an iterative process of optimizing, automating, and documenting, we will speed the transition of these methods into investigator-friendly applications. Together these aims encapsulate a sweeping approach to supporting the University's neuroscience community by enabling the current state of the art practices and by advancing the next generation of groundbreaking practices. The NCCBI will include Administration, Informatics, and Analysis cores to achieve these aims.

这项建议是继续在华盛顿大学的NINDS中心核心脑成像（NCCBI）。在其五年的运作中，NCCBI已成为大学神经科学界不可或缺的资源，在此期间，成像研究不断发展。神经影像学研究在涉及的研究对象数量、协议中使用的图像采集类型、包括的非成像测量的多样性以及进行的图像后处理和分析的程度方面变得更加广泛。该中心在下一个资助周期的目标是支持大学神经影像学社区不断发展的实践。该中心将实现以下具体目标： 1.我们将促进高通量，高度跨学科的神经影像学研究。将部署一个软件和硬件基础设施，将成像设施，信息资源和分析能力统一到一个有组织的和安全的研究平台。关键组件将包括DICOM数据交换服务、基于XNAT的成像信息系统和集成自动分析管道。这一基础设施将得到专家咨询服务、全面的文档和广泛的培训计划的支持。 2.我们将促进紧急成像和分析方法向生产级研究资产的过渡。已经确定了一组成像方法，其具有处于开发管道中的不同阶段的相关分析方法，包括解剖MRI;扩散张量成像;流动、代谢和放射性配体结合的正电子发射断层扫描研究;动脉自旋标记MRI;和定量血氧水平依赖性（BOLD）MRI。通过优化、自动化和文档化的迭代过程，我们将加快这些方法向对编译器友好的应用程序的过渡。这些目标共同概括了支持大学神经科学界的全面方法 通过实现当前最先进的实践和推进下一代突破性的实践。NCCBI将包括管理，信息学和分析核心，以实现这些目标。
