Daniel P Barboriak Laboratory 

Director: Daniel P. Barboriak, MD

The goal of our research is to improve the care of patients with malignant brain tumors.  Our first aim is to use magnetic resonance imaging and other techniques to better understand how malignant brain tumors recur and spread. We are currently studying whether perfusion and diffusion techniques can provide information that allow earlier predication of locations where tumor will recur or of locations to which recurrent tumor will spread. We are also interested in using these techniques to develop surrogate markers to assess treatment response. The goal of this effort would be to allow earlier detection of treatment successes and failures, and also to provide quantitative methods that would allow comparison of treatments.

Duke-UNC Brain Imaging and Analysis Center 

 

 

Medical Director: Daniel Boll, MD, 

Administrative Director: Laura Pierce, MPA, RT(CT),

The Multi-D lab is incrementally establishing a variety of services for investigators. Services provided will include de-identification of radiology studies, TheraSphere® liver treatment planning with volumes, Core Valve treatment planning for endoluminal aortic valve replacement, and clinical 3D imaging for Computed Tomography (CT) angiograms. 3D imaging services will be expanded over the next year to include tumor evaluations, CT musculoskeletal, body, craniofacial, and virtual colonoscopy, as well as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) angiography. A variety of imaging research and core lab sponsored projects will also be introduced. The tumor Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) measurement service is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2012, and the other planned services will follow during the year.

The overall goal of the Multi-Modality Imaging Lab is to develop molecular imaging tools useful for the basic scientist, translational researcher, and ultimately clinician for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. The systems are designed specifically with breast imaging in mind, but have other potentially useful specific imaging applications.
