Human Imaging Unit Core

3.g临床成像研究中心（CCIR）的人体成像单元（HID） 人体成像单元（HIU）是NIH资助的临床科学下建立的核心设施， 翻译奖（CSTA）计划，为人体图像采集提供先进的仪器， 存档、处理和分析。HIU是临床成像研究中心（CCIR）的一部分， 华盛顿大学医学院的Mallinckrodt放射学研究所，该研究所在国际上 以影像学研究、培训和新技术开发而闻名。HIU的主要目标是 支持开发新的方法和途径，以解决临床和转化研究， 提供：1）获得进行高级研究成像所需的仪器和资源 研究; 2）设计和执行适当的成像方案以及创建 新的/创新的人类成像工具，工作流程和生物医学信息学系统; 3）支持 需要分析成像数据;和，4）教育计划，以增加网络和可用的培训， 成像技术。HIU将作为验证组件的主要协调中心 在这份U 54申请中， 由于CCIR位于巴恩斯犹太医院正门的正上方， 可用于住院患者、门诊患者、对照受试者和健康志愿者。作为CCIR的一部分，HIU 获得全方位的成像服务和最先进的硬件，包括六个专门的研究 扫描仪，即（1）3 T MRI CT（Trio，Tim System），（2）PET/CT Biograph 40断层扫描仪，（3）CT SOMATOM定义，（4）1.5T MRI EQUIPTOM Avanto，（5）PET ECAT HR+ 962和（6）超声 听觉焦虑。 超过2000平方英尺的CCIR是专门为工作人员的工作领域，如图像工作站的数据 处理，护理站，研究协调员工作站，办公室和会议室。患者区域 包括等候室、有储物柜更衣室、检查室和同意室。HIU通过 CCIR可以访问这些资源，并可以提供广泛的成像相关支持。

3.g Human Imaging Unit (HID) in the Center for Clinical Imaging Research (CCIR) The Human Imaging Unit (HIU) is a core facility established under the NIH-funded Clinical Sciences and Translational Award (CSTA) program that provides advanced instrumentation for human image acquisition, archiving, processing, and analysis. The HIU is part of the Center for Clinical Imaging Research (CCIR) at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine, which is internationally renowned for its imaging research, training and development of new technology. Major goals of the HIU are to support the development of novel methods and approaches to address clinical and translational research by providing: 1) access to the instrumentation & resources needed to conduct advanced research imaging studies; 2) the expertise needed to design and conduct appropriate imaging protocols and to create new/innovative human imaging tools, workflow processes, and biomedical informatics systems; 3) the support needed to analyze imaging data; and, 4) educational programs to increase networking and available training in imaging techniques. The HIU will serve as the primary coordinating hub for the validation components described in this U54 grant application. Since the CCIR is located directly above the main entrance for the Barnes-Jewish Hospital, easy access is available for inpatients, outpatients, control subjects and healthy volunteers. As part of the CCIR, the HIU has access to a full range imaging services and state-of-the-art hardware, including six dedicated research scanners, namely, (1) 3T MRI MAGNETOM (Trio, a Tim System), (2) PET/CT Biograph 40 Tomograph, (3) CT SOMATOM Definition, (4) 1.5T MRI MAGNETOM Avanto, (5) PET ECAT HR+ 962, and (6) Ultrasound ACUSON Antares. More than 2000 square feet of the CCIR is devoted to staff work areas such as image workstations for data processing, a nursing station, research coordinator workstations, offices and conference rooms. Patient areas include holding rooms, dressing rooms with lockers, and consult rooms for exams and consenting. The HIU via the CCIR has access to these resources and can provide extensive imaging-related support.
