Congratulations @michaelberks 👏 Great to have an SSI Fellow developing the QBI Lab codebase!
Delighted to be selected as a @SoftwareSaved Fellow for 2021. Excited to do all I can to improve the way we write and manage software in the @QbiLab and wider @UoM_Imaging community. If you're a researcher in this area and we're not yet connected, hit me up! #SSIFellows2021

Great presentation by @PLouHubbard today on the #NCITA infrastructure support for translational clinical imaging research! @Translation_Mcr Find out more about @imaging_cancer study adoption process at bit.ly/3pT35lk xitter.cf/Translation_Mcr/status…
Dr @PLouHubbard of @imaging_cancer explaining how NCITA is collaborating with clinical researchers across the UK to provide NCITA Repository, Imaging Clinical Trials Unit and QA/QC Unit support for multicentre clinical imaging biomarker studies #TMRNSeminar
Amazing work everyone - looking forward to receiving the data into UoM to analyse 😄 @uom_imaging @Translation_Mcr
First oxygen-enhanced MRI scan in a UK hospital performed this week @TheChristieNHS! A #Teamscience approach to a new hypoxia technique. Another tool in the battle to improve patient care by optimizing radiotherapy @MCRCnews @cynthiaeccles @abbiec94 @achoud72 @UoM_DCS @ipemnews

QA/QC and process management is critical for translating research into the clinic! Share your experience 👇 (before the end of the week!) As a community, how do we do QA / QC in #qMRI #imagingbiomarker clinical research? How can we improve? How can the #NCITA #MRI Core Lab help?
Replying to @imaging_cancer
@imaging_cancer is conducting a national #clinical #MRI #quality #assurance and quality control survey for UK research institutions and centres conducting MRI #imaging #biomarker #clinicaltrials. Closing date for survey responses 4 Oct! bit.ly/35jc3Si
