Associated Core Facilities
View core facilities affiliated with the CACTUS program below:
Data Storage, Processing and Analysis (DaSPA)
iPACS
- iPACS provides a HIPAA-compliant PACS system for archiving clinical and preclinical research imaging studies
- The installed and supported iPACS system is a web-based, secure, project-oriented resource available to Faculty researchers in Radiology and their collaborators
- Also has the capability of performing customized de-identification of images acquired in clinical trials to preserve patient confidentiality
IM4T
- Imaging Metrics for Trials (IM4T) provides centralized image analysis for clinical trials across the institution including tumor response criteria (e.g., Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]) and other quantitative image biomarkers.
- Management of this core is facilitated using the MINT Lesion® software, which incorporates both imaging and workflow management into its platform
Radiology Manufacturing
3D Modeling and Printing
- An in-house resource for developing both virtual and physical models, for basic and translational research support
- Flagship technology is a high-end 3D printer (Project 3510HDplus, 3D systems) which prints full density, gas-sterilizable models with sub-millimeter resolution
- Also has a lower cost 3D printer used for high-volume projects where there are less constraints on dimensional precision
- In addition to printing, the core maintains access to a variety of analysis and design software, and provides the services of engineering and machining staff with expertise in device design and manufacturing, finite element simulations, and medical image-based modelling
