Abstract

We are developing a software framework built on caBIG technologies to standardize quantitative imaging assessment of tumor burden and to enable researchers to integrate and analyze a spectrum of quantitative imaging biomarkers to leverage quantitative imaging to better enable assessment of cancer and its treatment response. Our aims are (1) to create tools to reproducibly assess quantitative imaging features of tumor burden; (2) to develop methods to analyze quantitative image metadata and to help oncologists evaluate image-based quantitative criteria of treatment response; and (3) to evaluate the utility of our methods by applying them in two clinical trials and showing an improvement in response assessment in individual patients and patient cohorts.
