项目摘要

JOINT IMAGING CORE ABSTRACT The objective of the Joint Imaging (JI) Core of the Microenvironment in Arthritis Resource Center (MARC) is to facilitate research in the San Diego community focused on the biology of the joint through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The JI Core will provide a non-invasive means to image in vivo tissue structure, metabolism, and function of human and small animal joints. The Core's technologies can also provide structured data that can be analyzed and integrated with other datasets, such as transcriptomics from biopsies on the same joint and clinical phenotype. The Core offers a unique integration of radiology and rheumatology that is uncommon among Rheumatic Diseases Research Resource-based Centers, particularly when combined with the computational support from other MARC resources. The non-invasive nature of MRI, coupled with the absence of ionizing radiation and the ability to evaluate all musculoskeletal tissues, renders this resource highly valuable for joint pathology projects and for translational studies aimed at development of biomarkers or novel therapeutic approaches. The Aims of the JI Core are 1) to provide investigators with MR imaging protocols that offer non-invasive morphologic, biochemical and functional evaluation of musculoskeletal tissues, 2) to provide investigators with MR engineering support to include MR compatible devices and radiofrequency (RF) coil development for in vivo, tissue specimen or animal imaging, and 3) to assist investigators with imaging data post-processing algorithms that allow desired expression of data. The Core will also facilitate interactions of pre-clinical investigators with established rheumatology and orthopaedics clinical research resources and with affiliated services if non-MRI small animal imaging is needed. The JI Core will act as catalyzer of multi- disciplinary and innovative science that and bring human imaging technology to basic science investigators.

联合成像核心摘要关节炎资源中心 (MARC) 微环境联合成像 (JI) 核心的目标是通过磁共振促进圣地亚哥社区专注于关节生物学的研究成像（MRI）。 JI Core 将提供一种非侵入性手段来成像体内组织结构、新陈代谢、以及人类和小动物关节的功能。 Core 的技术还可以提供结构化数据可以与其他数据集进行分析和集成，例如同一关节活检的转录组学和临床表型。核心提供了放射学和风湿病学的独特整合，这是不常见的风湿病研究资源中心，特别是与来自其他 MARC 资源的计算支持。 MRI 的非侵入性性质，加上缺乏电离辐射和评估所有肌肉骨骼组织的能力，使该资源高度对于联合病理学项目和旨在开发生物标志物或新颖的转化研究很有价值治疗方法。 JI 核心的目标是 1) 为研究人员提供 MR 成像协议，提供肌肉骨骼组织的非侵入性形态学、生化和功能评估，2) 提供研究人员获得 MR 工程支持，包括 MR 兼容设备和射频 (RF) 线圈体内、组织标本或动物成像的开发，以及 3) 协助研究人员获取成像数据允许所需数据表达的后处理算法。该核心还将促进互动具有成熟风湿病学和骨科临床研究资源的临床前研究人员如果需要非 MRI 小动物成像，可提供附属服务。 JI Core 将充当多方面的催化剂学科和创新科学，将人类成像技术带给基础科学研究人员。
