CardioNow, Inc.
CardioNow's service, which is specifically designed to handle the large file
sizes (greater than 200 megabytes) associated with DICOM cardiology images,
enables study investigators to send complete trial images from their cath lab
to the angiographic core lab in near real-time. All cases sent via the
CardioNow network are transmitted and archived in native DICOM so the original
image quality is preserved. Furthermore, cases associated with clinical trials
are coded and anonymized to protect patient confidentiality. By facilitating
the secure, electronic transmission of cases, CardioNow eliminates the
unnecessary delays and expenses associated with copying, shipping and storing
CDs and cine films.
Advanced Technology Consortium (ATC)
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. We strongly
believe that advanced medical informatics can facilitate education,
collaboration, and peer review, as well as provide an environment in which
clinical investigators can receive, share, and analyze volumetric multimodality
treatment planning and verification (TPV) digital data. Our ultimate goal is to
improve the standards of care in the management of cancer by improving the
quality of clinical trials medicine.
Image-guided Therapy QA Center (ITC)
The Image-guided Therapy QA Center (ITC) WWW server at Washington University
School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, a member of the NCI
Advanced-Technology QA Consortium (ATC), provides software tools and data
management services to support quality assurance for advanced-technology
Radiation Oncology clinical trials.
