Imaging in Clinical Trials

Advanced Technology Consortium(ATC)
The Advanced Technology Consortium (ATC) was created to facilitate the conduct of National Cancer Institute sponsored advanced technology radiation therapy clinical trials that require digital data submissions while maintaining patient confidentiality. This effort includes radiation therapy quality assurance, image and radiation therapy digital data management, and clinical research and developmental efforts.

Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC)
CDISC is an open, multidisciplinary, non-profit organization committed to the development of industry standards to support the electronic acquisition, exchange, submission and archiving of clinical trials data and metadata for medical and biopharmaceutical product development. The mission of CDISC is to lead the development of global, vendor-neutral, platform independent standards to improve data quality and accelerate product development in our industry.

Multidisciplinary Approach to Data Standards for Clinical Development
This article originally appeared in APPLIED CLINICAL TRIALS, Volume 11, Number 4, pages 35-44, April 2002, by Rebecca Kush, Ph.D. who is president of CDISC. A common interchange standard for clinical data is described that will save time, effort, and money for everyone involved - and CDISC continues to develop new functional models to prove it.
