John Perry, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Justin Kirby, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

1) Learn how to install, configure, and use the RSNA's CTP software for clinical trials and reseach dataset processing. 2) Learn about the the unique challenges of DICOM image de-identifcation and how to utilize CTP to implement the Attribute Confidentiality Profile (DICOM PS 3.15: Appendix E) to properly de-identify DICOM images. 3) Learn how to customize CTP to process and transfer imaging studies according to the requirements of common research study scenarios.

Clincial Trial Processor (CTP) is a highly configurable and extensible stand-alone program that provides many features necessary for managing imaging as part of a clinical trial or research study. In this course participants will be provided with an overview of CTP's functionality, and then perform hands-on image processing of sample data based on common reserach and clinical trial scenarios. Addtionally, participants will receive an overview of the unique challenges associated with de-identifying DICOM images and learn about using CTP to implement the DICOM standard's guidance for how best to ensure removal of PHI without compromising the utility of the data for research.
