The
American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN)
is an international
cooperative group, headquartered in Philadelphia with biostatistical
headquarters at Brown University. It is sponsored by the Cancer Imaging Program
(CIP), Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD), National Cancer
Institute (NCI), as well as philanthropies.
ACRIN's goal is - through clinical trials of diagnostic imaging and
image-guided therapeutic technologies - to generate information that will
lengthen and improve the quality of the lives of cancer patients. ACRIN's
clinical trials address both existing and emerging technologies as they apply
to cancer screening, diagnosis, staging, imaging as a biomarker, and
image-guided treatment. Imaging clinical trials conducted by ACRIN are
carefully designed for statistical validity and the protocols are reviewed and
approved by the Clinical Trials Evaluation Program (CTEP).
