Learning Objectives: 1.To understand the algorithm of performing, tracking and correlating advanced anatomic and metabolic tumor metrics system that supports clinical trials. 2.To learn the usage of data entry tool embedded in PACS along with web database application for use by clinical trial coordinators. 3.To recognize this system as a start of building standard radiographic imaging methodologies of measuring and tracking advanced radiographic tumor metrics that apply to current existing PACS.
Abstract (summary): An enterprise-level clinical trials support system for tumor metrics studies has been designed. The front end (data entry plug-in API interfaces with Philips iSite Enterprise PACS) and back end (Tumor Metrics database) were described previously (J. Nucl Med 48(5) Supp.:200P, 2007). We summarize the system structure (including recent developments), and describe in detail a web-based application that supports creating, retrieving and analyzing trial studies for clinical research coordinators. This interface is intended to support the following features: Different levels of user accounts; Data entry for trial creation and subject enrollment; Database queries for patients, trials, and lesion records. Future development will include tools for analysis of lesion change with plot diagrams and statistical reports. The presentation will explain the major features of tumor metrics system applications, show the usage of the data entry tool and the web database application from the perspective of radiologists, clinical trials coordinators and investigators.
