Please be advised that we are currently in a controlled vendor environment for the
One Person One Record project.
Please refrain from questions or discussion related to the
One Person One Record project.
Informatics…
utilizes health information and health care technology to enable patients to receive best treatment and best outcome possible.
Clinical Informatics…is the application of informatics and information technology to deliver
health care. AMIA. (2017, January 13). Retrieved from https://www.amia.org/applications-infomatics/clinical-
informatics
Objectives At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to…
▫ Identify what knowledge and skills health care providers will need to use information now and in the future.
▫ Prepare health care providers by introducing them to concepts and local experiences in Informatics.
▫ Acquire knowledge to remain current with new trends, terminology , studies, data and breaking news.
▫ Cooperate with a network of colleagues establishing connections and leaders that will provide assistance and advice for business issues, as well as for best-practice and knowledge sharing.
• Session specific objective #1: Have a representative overview of medical imaging informatics research at NSHA
• Session specific objective #2: Understand how machine learning can potentially impact clinical care
• Session specific objective #3: Gain an intuition on how Convolutional Neural Networks work

An overview of imaging & informatics research
What is BIOTIC?
BIOmedical Translational Imaging Centre
✔ Research facility of the hospitals with a mandate to translate
medical innovations through clinical and industry partnership
✔ Integrated leadership in both science and innovation/business
development
✔ Straddle the academic, clinical and commercial worlds
✔ An open access centre in which equipment and expertise can be
utilized by researchers across the hospitals and universities
Purposefully crossing the siloes
Embedded in the region’s largest
tertiary care hospitals
Clinical Imaging Research Infrastructure
* Clinical imaging facilities provide access
to non-invasive technologies for brain
and body imaging in humans
* Access to pediatric and adult patient
populations
* Connections with clinicians to explore
clinical research opportunities
* 3T MRI (MR750), 306-channel MEG,
Point of Care MRI (coming soon in
2019!)
Pre-Clinical Research Infrastructure
* Pre-clinical imaging facilities provide
access to non-invasive technologies
for imaging in rodent models
* A fully-equipped biological level 2
lab and an onsite animal care facility
with a special quarantine area
allows for longitudinal studies
* Simultaneous MRI/PET, and
PET/SPECT/CT
Improving Treatment Planning
Studying Health System “Value” of New Tech
* MRI will be installed Fall 2019 - $2.1M
in external funding
* Primarily dedicated to patients with
new onset neurological symptoms
arriving in the ED
* Can a rapid screening MR improve
diagnostic confidence, in particular for
“negative” scans
* 4-year study of “value” to health
system

Clinical Motivation for AIProstate Cancer
Sharon Clarke, MD PhD
• 2nd most frequently diagnosed cancer and the 6th leading cause of cancer death among men worldwide
• ~24,000 new cases in 2015; 25% of new cancers in men
• Diagnosis - random biopsy of the prostate gland based on clinical suspicion and/or rising PSA
• Cancers can be missed, resulting in delayed diagnosis, and in some cases, a missed chance for cure; conversely, overtreatment can occur
Scope of the Problem
What is Multi-parametric MRI?
MRI can obtain detailed images of the prostate with several different contrasts
Why Multi-parametric MRI?
• MRI can non-invasively identify suspicious lesions that can subsequently be targeted for biopsy

Why Multi-parametric MRI?
• Cancer Staging and Localization

Why Multi-parametric MRI?
Active Surveillance
• PROMIS trial - Lancet. 2017 Feb 25;389(10071):815-822.
▫ “.... data provide a strong argument for recommending MP-MRI to all men with an elevated serum PSA before biopsy.”
• PRECISION trial - N Engl J Med. 2018 Mar 18.
▫ “MRI, with or without targeted biopsy, led to fewer men undergoing biopsy, more clinically significant cancers being identified, less over-detection of clinically insignificant cancer… than did TRUS-guided biopsy.”
Paradigm Shift
• PROMIS trial ▫ “there was only moderate agreement of MP-MRI scores between
two independent radiologists.… highlights the necessity for a robust training programme for radiologists.”
• PRECISION trial ▫ …moderate agreement between the site and the central
radiologist… highlights the need for further research regarding improvements to the standardization, reproducibility, and reporting of MP-MRIs.”
Room for improvement
• Evaluation is time-consuming for radiologists, and a natural candidate for machine learning approaches
Detection of Prostate Cancer
T2
ADC
DCE
Machine Learning PCa Detection
• Develop a protocol and validate CAD system for 1.5T MRI
• Scans done elsewhere could be used to further train and improve the
model
• Improve Radiologists’ diagnostic accuracy, efficiency and inter-
observer variability; evaluate changes over time in tumour
• Application to measuring tumour volume over time in other organs
