Trials

Our cross-site protocols have already been used in clinical trials of the DZNE. In this way, we guarantee uniform and comparable results - regardless of which of the participating locations the recordings are made.

Coordination

The National Neuroimaging Network fulfills the following tasks for the coordination of DZNE imaging:

  • DZNE Imaging Guidelines (SOPs) for clinical research MR Imaging
    • Documentation
    • Scan preparation/execution
    • Imaging protocol-development/implementation
  • Quality control (QC) in multicentre studies
    • Imaging protocol conformity with rapid feedback
    • Gross artefacts
    • Feedback on incidental findings
    • Phantom measures
  • Scanner/hardware harmonization
    • Scanner qualification
    • Adjunct hardware (screens, response pads etc..)
    • Day-to-day problem solving – (hardware/software problems)
    • Software updates
    • Communication with vendors
  • Centralized education/instruction of MR-personnel
    • Ensuring best possible image quality
