Standardization of exams procedures Sample Clauses

Standardization of exams procedures and parameters to be analysed (P4-LUMC) (months 1  2) The WP2 leader will develop standardized procedures for CT acquisition protocols and minimization of radiation dose within month 2 to be implemented by the participating centers in month 3. To ensure homogeneity of the image quality, the WP2 leader will gather prior to start of patient inclusion test data-sets from the participating centers to review the image quality. This will allow timely optimization of data acquisition protocols. In addition, quality of the data (including image quality, appropriate phase reconstruction, kernel selection, etc.) will be monitored continuously throughout the project. The WP2 leader, within month 2, will also develop standardized procedures for CT analysis and will define relevant parameters to be entered into the Central Database.

Standardization of exams procedures and parameters to be analysed (P1-CNR) (months 1 2) The WP3 leader, in agreement with centres which will act as core labs for each imaging modality, will develop, within month 2, standardized procedures for imaging acquisition protocols including: scanning parameters, stress protocols, data acquisition and storage, minimization of radiation dose as well as transferring process to the respective core labs. In particular stressors for each imaging modality will be standardized according to the following indications: 1. bycicle exercise or pharmacologic vasodilation (i.v. adenosine/dipyridamole) for SPECT; 2. pharmacologic vasodilation (i.v. adenosine/dipyridamole) for PET; 3. pharmacologic stress (i.v. dobutamine) for ECHO or MRI studies including only wall motion and contractility assessment; 4. pharmacologic vasodilation (i.v. dipyridamole) for ECHO or MRI studies including wall motion/contractility and perfusion assessment in the same study (as an alternative to dobutamine in selected centres). These guidelines will be implemented by the participating centres in month 3. To ensure homogeneity of the image quality, the WP3 leader will gather prior to start of patient inclusion test data-sets from the participating centres and will forward them to the core labs to review the image quality. This will allow timely optimization of data acquisition protocols. In addition, quality of the data will be monitored continuously throughout the project as well as number of patients studied with each modality and stressor so to issue corrections in order to allow a balanced distribution of the number of patients to each modality and stress protocol. The WP3 leader, within month 2, in agreement with centres which will act as core labs for each imaging modality, will also develop standardized procedures for imaging analysis, to allow extraction of complete “state of the art” parameters from each modality to be entered into the Central Database.
