Job Description

Human Perception of Time Intensity Curves from Dynamic Contrast - Enhanced Images

We are seeking a motivated research intern with a background in biological sciences to work in the Advanced Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Imaging (ABASTI) lab in the Department of Musculoskeletal Imaging at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The Intern will generate cine animations and time-intensity curves from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI studies. The animations will be presented to radiologists, who will be asked to classify time-intensity curves as one of 5 types. Their responses will be compared to the reference standard time-intensity curves.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. How to export DICOM images
2. How to generate cine animations and time intensity curves from dynamic contrast enhanced MRI
3. How to conduct a visual categorization study as it pertains to radiologist perception

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
The ideal candidate will have recently (within one year) been awarded a bachelor's or master's degree in the biological sciences. Research experience is helpful, but not necessary. Applicants associated with a home institution do not qualify. Applicants in a clinical position, postdoctoral fellowship, or faculty position do not qualify. Research Interns cannot change titles to another trainee title upon completion (exception may apply).

ADDITIONAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
Expertise or skills in the following areas are highly desirable: statistics software, image analysis software, such as GE AW. We are looking for an outstanding researcher with high motivation, ability to work collaboratively and independently, and a strong commitment to working on the above project.

POSITION INFORMATION
This position (full-time or part-time) provides a stipend between $28,000 and $36,000.05/31/2025
