Image Analysis Services
Non-standard Image Analysis
This service provides researchers with a customized "Research Analysis Report" that provides additional information regarding a research-related scan that is required for the research study or clinical trial but is not normally found in a standard radiologist report. This might include specialized interpretation requirements as well as consistent comparisons between baseline and follow-up scans. The Research Analysis Report is generated by the HIRO's research radiologist and is customized to the needs of the research protocol. This type of analysis might include volume measurements, lesion measurements, or other types of quantitative measurements (other than tumor measurements).
Baseline Profile Reports
Some clinical trials require an imaging-based baseline profile for subjects that are being screened for or enrolled in the trial. The HIRO's research radiologist is able to provide this analysis for clinical trials when required.
Yunu Imaging Assessment Platform
The HIRO provides support for the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center's Yunu imaging assessment platform. If your cancer clinical trial has budgeted to utilize the Yunu platform, the HIRO will assist with granting access to the members of your team and setting up the trial within the platform.
