  4. NIH Funding for Imaging $Millions

  5. BIP Grant Funding $M

  6. Branch: Imaging Technology • Promoting new areas for imaging technology development. • Development of new funding initiatives for academia and industry, including SBIR/STTR’s. • Development of research resources and centers of excellence. • Promoting Inter-agency programs.

  7. NIH Initiatives: Image Data Bases • NLM/NSF Visible Human Project (1989-): CT/MRI images of to allow evaluation of image registration and segmentation (normal subjects/cadavers). • NIH/NSF: Human Brain Project (1993-). Common tools to facilitate research on neuroinformatics (CT/PET/MRI). • NCI Database (2000-2005): Focused on evaluation of diagnostic software for specific cancer applications and impact of image pre- processing( image registration).

  8. Rationale: Image Database • CAD methods: Rapidly being developed for more efficient analysis of screening studies (breast, lung and colon). • Clinical Model: Spiral CT for lung cancer screening for high risk patients: Opportunity: access to clinical trials. • Physical Model: Excellent for evaluating 3D CAD, image registration and temporal analysis of serial CT images, multi-modality image registration, image reconstruction.

  9. Objectives: Image Database Resource • Develop consensus for generation of retrospective image databases, histology confirmation and spatial ground truth, metrics and statistical methods for software evaluation. • Provide an objective means to compare CAD, image processing, change analysis, and image reconstruction software methods. • Stimulate development and early identification of promising software methods and reduction of research risk for academia and industry research sites. • Enhance inter-disciplinary research collaboration by academia, federal laboratories and industry.

  11. CU0138-1 Jun 17 1996, (X,Y) resolution: 0.68359 mm, Slice thickness : 1 mm A.P.Reeves, Cornell University, 1999

  12. CU0138-1 3D Views Volume: 193.531 (mm3) Extents (x, y, z): 11, 10, 7 (mm) Length, Width, Height (EOI): 9.63099, 7.67993, 4.99717 (mm) Aspect Ratios (L/H, L/W, W/H): 1.92729, 1.25405, 1.53686 A.P.Reeves, Cornell University, 1999

  13. U01: Cooperative Agreement • Support 5 academic sites with fundable scores, selected by NCI, with ongoing lung cancer screening programs, to form a Lung Image Data Base Consortium (LIDC). • LIDC: Minimum of 3 sites and two X-ray CT systems. • U01 “Assistance mechanism” as opposed to a “contract”. • Steering committee: PI and Co-PI’s and NCI Program staff; responsible for forming consensus on research tasks. • Concept Support: $7M for 5 years for 5 sites.

  14. Future Plans: Technology Development • Proposed PA: R21/R33 phased innovation for imaging technology development. • RFP for ultrasound research interface • RFA for spiral CT image database • Proposed additional Centers with technology development component
