CT Scanning Time • Clinical scanners – no exact report on scanning/waiting time • Subjectively, considerably briefer scanning times than prior exams (~15 min total) • Scanner proximity • Improved scheduling
Participant Results Reporting Targets • Ancillary studies: same targets
Participant Results Reporting Targets • Lab target omitted Vermont Minnesota shipment
Clinical Reporting of High Tech Tests • Several sites now require a clinical local read of CT scans • CT scans: JHU, Col, NWU and Wake • MRI: Columbia • Local reporting • Preference for one rather than multiple clinical reads/over-reads • MESA CT, MRI and U/S Reading Centers providing read/over-read for alerts for scans at other FC only
Protocol Deviations • Remediation • Coordinating Center fixed software • 2-4. CT Completion form changed to clarify body size; CT tech retraining
Operations Summary • Retention stable up to Exam 5 • Variable start-up at Field Centers • Stabilizing • Rate of visits at goal over last month • Working to complete second visits • Participant Burden as forecast • Results reporting catching up
