Neuroimaging Platform
COORDINATOR: DR. MANUEL DESCO MENÉNDEZ (G07- Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón)
At the present time over 20 national and internation- al projects are using the Neuroimaging Bank and its technical resources for analysis and processing.
In 2015 images of 169 new subjects were added to the database of this scientific structure, increasing to a total of 3040 cases stored. The total number of images available at the Neuroimaging Banks comes to 13,805 (57% more than 2013). Furthermore, dur- ing 2015 a total number of 393 studies were pro- cessed (26% more than in 2013).
In the field of development a DSI (Diffusion Spec- trum MRI) HARDI sequence was performed on the MR Philips Achieva 1.5 which started to be used that same year.
As part of the project entitled “Brain-inspired data engineering (BRADE)” of the Comunidad de Ma- drid, the construction of a SPIM (Selective/single Plane Illumination Microscopy) system was devel- oped at the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón.
In 2015 the process was got under way for signing a new Agreement with the Fundación para la Inves- tigación Biomédica del Hospital Gregorio Marañon, in order to use this Foundation’s technical resources as a repository for the images provided by CIBER- SAM groups. This new Agreement will enable the Neuroimaging Bank to comply with all the requisites for becoming established as a CIBERSAM Platform.
The processing of the images stored will from 2016 be dissociated from the activities of the Neuroim- aging Bank, to become an activity performed by the group responsible for his scientific structure (G07).
The Neuroimaging bank works in coordination with the GRIDSAM clinical data bank.
