Sponsors, CROs, imaging core labs and academic groups use Collective Minds for brain and CNS imaging in three ways: central review in multi-hospital neuro-oncology trials, reader and measurement studies on MRI, and research datasets built from hospital CT.
What teams do in brain and CNS imaging
Run glioblastoma clinical trial imaging. Sites upload MRI and radiotherapy structures, quality control approves them and readers review, as in neuro-oncology imaging core lab work.
Run reader and measurement studies on brain MRI. Readers in different countries score and measure on one form, from brain tumors to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in newborns.
Build research datasets from hospital CT. Exams are selected with inclusion rules and brought into a research workspace.
Projects like this
A phase 3 trial in glioblastoma
An investigator-led trial across 17 hospitals in several countries. What we did: sites upload MRI and radiotherapy structure data, with quality control and three radiology reviews per patient, for up to 180 patients.
A university group wanted to replicate published diffusion MRI thresholds in neonatal brain MRI of newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) treated with cooling. What we did: a retrospective measurement study with fewer than 50 subjects, two sites and four readers in Japan and Sweden.
Traumatic brain injury on CT
A hospital research project on head injury. What we did: 742 patient folders of CT exams brought into a research workspace through inclusion rules, in an ongoing project.
Questions we hear
Which brain images can we use?
MRI and CT, plus radiotherapy structure data in neuro-oncology trials.
Can hospitals in different countries take part?
Yes. A glioblastoma trial on the platform has 17 hospitals in several countries.
Can readers outside our hospital take part?
Yes. In a neonatal brain MRI study on hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), four readers in Japan and Sweden took measurements on the same form.
Can an imaging CRO or neuro-oncology core lab use the platform for glioblastoma trials?
Yes. Sponsors, CROs and research groups use the platform for central reads. In a glioblastoma trial on the platform, sites upload MRI and radiotherapy structures, quality control approves them and three radiologists review each patient.
