If you are considering a career change, Fred Prior, PhD, Professor and Chair, Dept. of Biomedical Informatics University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is hoping you will add The Cancer Imaging Archive to your list of possible new career avenues. Prior is looking for a PACS administrator with an interest in pursuing cancer research.
"The key is DICOM. Although we are training our graduate students in DICOM and HL7, it is difficult to find people with in-depth DICOM knowledge and an understanding of medical imaging. TCIA is the National Cancer Institute’s research imaging repository, which my team created and manages on behalf of NCI," Prior said in an email.
"Research imaging is quite different from standard of care clinical imaging. We collect a lot of data from completed clinical trials where there has been more or less strict control of acquisition protocols. Image quality in research is focused on consistency, lack of artifacts, and the ability to extract quantitative measurements rather than the ability of a radiologist to adequately view the image."
