QA/QC and process management is critical for translating research into the clinic! Share your experience 👇 (before the end of the week!)

As a community, how do we do QA / QC in #qMRI #imagingbiomarker clinical research? How can we improve? How can the #NCITA #MRI Core Lab help?

[NCITA Clinical Imaging Research Infrastructure @imaging_cancer]

@imaging_cancer is conducting a national #clinical #MRI #quality #assurance and quality control survey for UK research institutions and centres conducting MRI #imaging #biomarker #clinicaltrials.

Closing date for survey responses 4 Oct! https://t.co/lUBBHTBRgt

Damien McHugh & @PLouHubbard, great to see your book chapter online! Phantoms for Validating Advanced Diffusion Sequences https://t.co/kWQ5xLAMy5 @MCRCnews @UoM_Imaging

[QBI-Lab @QbiLab]

Great to see this available now @Isabellamfw! It just goes to show how critical the analysis code we use is for imaging research. @RT_physics @finn_corinne

[Isabella Fornacon-Wood @Isabellamfw]

My first published paper is out! 🙋🏻‍♀️ We investigated the influence of software platforms on radiomic features, finding that even standardized software can give varying results... https://t.co/sJFYnxD84b @RT_physics @finn_corinne @QbiLab

@imaging_cancer holds its first workshop today on Oxygen Enhanced MRI – current work and future directions, led by Prof James O'Connor #Manchester and Prof Geoff Parker #UCL

[QBI-Lab @QbiLab]

All the best to you for the future Alan! Thank you for your contributions to quantitative imaging at Manchester over the years. @UoM_Imaging

[Imaging@Manchester @UoM_Imaging]

Today we said a fond farewell to our WMIC Director and clinical lead for imaging, Prof Alan Jackson, who is retiring. We will miss you!

[QBI-Lab @QbiLab]

It’s been great seeing all our newly gowned UoM graduates this week and last - special congratulations to our very own new doctors @AKFeatherstone, @VTessyman & Ignacio Partarrieu! @MCRCnews @UoM_Imaging

[QBI-Lab @QbiLab]

Marcel shared his radiotherapy planning work, and the exciting resources at the Christie. James talked about his work https://t.co/9NtY6tgIEv & how we need to make our biomarkers technically valid, clinically valid & cost effective https://t.co/BoKsrdDFbV

[QBI-Lab @QbiLab]

Well done to James and Marcel for their inaugural lectures on Tuesday! It was good to see so many familiar faces there - a great time had by all.
@MCRCnews @UoM_Imaging

[QBI-Lab @QbiLab]

Register here for the inaugural lectures of James O’Connor and Marcel van Herk! https://t.co/y3GdYHDE7U Please be seated by 3.50 for a 4pm start. Following the lectures there will be a drinks and canapes reception from 5pm in the Oglesby reception area. @MCRCnews @UoM_Imaging

[QBI-Lab @QbiLab]

Save the date! James O’Connor’s inaugural lecture as the first UoM Professor of Radiology at The Christie is at 4pm on Tue 9 July at the Oglesby Cancer Research Building: ‘Translating Cancer Imaging Biomarkers into Clinical Practice’. Followed by drinks. @MCRCnews @UoM_Imaging

[QBI-Lab @QbiLab]

Great to see Ahmed's work now online! @Dr_ASalem https://t.co/X7tTsYGRRv

[Ahmed Salem @Dr_ASalem]

Proud to have led this work with James O'Connor et al showing:
1. Novel OE-MRI can detect & track #hypoxia in #lungcancer
2. OE-MRI is feasible & repeatable
3. & can detect ⬇️ #hypoxia after #Radiotherapy
= OE-MRI (✔️validated) CAN BE USED IN FUTURE TRIALS
