TIMC User Fees
Included in the TIMC user fees are the following services; consultation with DF/HCC Trial PIs prior to trial initiation, image study capture from DF/HCC centers, image study archival for the length of the trial, tumor measurements as specified in the protocol, database management of measurement results and image snapshots, web-based results reporting and assistance with trial audits with respect to the image analysis components of the trial. For sites outside of DF/HCC, other fees may apply.
The TIMC offers consultative services to clinical trials investigators at no additional cost to DF/HCC investigators. The goal of the consultative service is to optimize clinical trials protocol design for imaging acquisition and analysis methods so that trials are established with appropriate and optimal imaging methods.
