28 Apr 22. Online learning: Translational imaging & clinical trials

Our online Translational imaging & clinical trials (TICT) course teaches translating imaging from lab to human trials and clinical practice.

We cover imaging used as a biomarker or surrogate outcome measure, and we address issues problems arising from differences in anatomy, MR scanner field strengths, and disease models.

You can download our syllabus, which includes all the learning objectives for each module and lecture, here:

 

We offer multiple options for studying Translational imaging and clinical trials:

• As a stand-alone course, gaining university credits:

  • Starts in January / Winter / Semester 2
  • 10 university credits
• As a stand-alone course, without university credits for CPD / CME preparation and FRCR part 1 training:
  • Starts anytime
• As an elective embedded in one of our online degree programmes:
  • Neuroimaging for research MSc / Dip
  • Imaging MSc / Dip / Cert

 

We asked Dr Grant Mair, Senior Clinical Lecturer in Neuroradiology and main tutor for the Translational imaging and clinical trials course, to describe the course in more detail:

 

• Who is the TICT course aimed at?

  • Anyone who wants to understand how medical imaging can be used for translational research and how clinical trials incorporate medical imaging.

 

• What can you learn in the TICT course?

  • The TICT course takes participants through the basics of translational research and how this can and has included medical imaging. We have a particular focus on how imaging biomarkers for research have been applied in clinical trials. We also explore clinical trial methodology and design.

 

• What benefits can you get from our online study options?

  • Learn wherever and whenever you want.

 

• What outcomes / what can you expect at the end of the TICT course?

  • Knowledge of how clinical trials, medical imaging and translational research interact.
