Innovative Training Network towards raising and supporting the next generation of creative and entrepreneurial cross-speciality imaging experts

Descripción del proyecto

Formación de futuros expertos en medicina personalizada

La medicina moderna se esfuerza por personalizar el diagnóstico y el tratamiento, utilizando la obtención de imágenes atraumática para detectar y diagnosticar enfermedades. Si bien la obtención de imágenes atraumática desempeña un papel crucial, el auge de los sistemas de obtención de imágenes híbridos, como la tomografía por emisión de positrones con tomografía axial computarizada y resonancia magnética, ha introducido un nuevo nivel de complejidad. Estos sistemas ofrecen una valiosa información de imagen multiparamétrica, pero su funcionamiento requiere conocimientos especializados de múltiples especialidades. En este contexto, el proyecto HYBRID, financiado con fondos europeos, reúne a un consorcio de expertos en obtención de imágenes de renombre mundial. Su equipo pretende educar y formar a una nueva generación de profesionales capaces de desenvolverse con soltura en las complejidades de la obtención de imágenes híbrida. Con el apoyo de proveedores de «hardware» y «software» de diagnóstico, en HYBRID se ofrece una plataforma para que investigadores de talento contribuyan al avance de la medicina personalizada.

Objetivo

Modern medicine seeks to personalize diagnosis and treatment to the needs of individual patients. Personalized medicine approaches use non-invasive imaging to detect and characterize disease. While anatomical and molecular imaging systems have become a commodity, these systems have also grown complex. Complexity is further increased by the introduction of combined (hybrid) imaging systems, such as PET/CT, SPECT/CT or PET/MR. Within the context of hybrid imaging, these systems provide multi-parametric image information that has proven promising in rendering diagnoses and subsequent therapeutic management of patients more effective. The growing complexity of diagnostic and therapeutic regimens in light of the drive to integrate multiple layers of biomarker information no longer supports the operation of hybrid imaging modalities by singular specialists, but instead requires a new generation of open-minded, technology-fluent and applications-oriented experts.
HYBRID will help educate future imaging experts in adopting and disseminating such a cross-specialty approach. Our idea for this innovative training network is built on our personal experience and understanding of the importance of quantitative multi-parametric biomarkers in the years to come. We propose a consortium of world-leading imaging experts and partners that present with extended experience in advanced biomarker utilization, from the development of multi-parametric imaging methods and the design and construction of hybrid imaging systems to sourcing non-image based biomarker information. We are supported by vendors of diagnostic hardware and software systems who engage in this multi-disciplinary and cross-specialty effort, as well as by scientific associations and non-governmental entities. Thus, HYBRID provides an exceptional platform to young, ambitious and talented researchers who like to engage in supporting the concept of personalized medicine through multi-parametric data.
