The CQIE program established  benchmarks for quantitative imaging parameters involving PET, DCE-MRI and CT\/MR  volumetric protocols.<strong> <\/strong>The qualification  requirements are designed to qualify scanners and site imaging capabilities  while promoting standardization and harmonization of imaging data in  multicenter clinical trials and including a three-year re-evaluation process.  UNMC Radiology is qualifying three MRI scanners, three CT scanners and a PET\/CT  scanner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Significant research grants:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A total of $1.52 million in federal  and industry grants were awarded to department faculty in fiscal year 2011-12. Three  grants involved the research of <strong>Michael  Boska, Ph.D.<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Core  Grant:\u00a0 Neural Immunity in HIV Dementia &#8211;  PI: Howard Gendelman, M.D., UNMC<br \/>\n  Core B  Title: Quantitative MRI\/MRSI Core &#8211; PI: Dr. Boska<br \/>\n  The purpose of this core is to  develop quantitative imaging (relaxometry) and spectroscopic imaging databases  for mouse models of HIV encephalitis and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease in order to  provide non-invasive real time assessment of disease progression in mouse  models of neuronal disease. Coregistration of MRI\/MRSI data with histology  obtained from the same mice will provide interpretation of changes in proton  metabolites, T1, T2, ADC and magnetization transfer rates during disease  progression.<\/p>\n<p>Core Grant: Targeted neuroprotection for HIV-1 associated  neurologic disease (HAND) &#8211; PI: Harris Gelbard, M.D., Ph.D., University of  Rochester Medical Center<br \/>\n  Project  2 &#8211; (Co-PI: Drs. Boska &#038; Gendelman)<br \/>\n  The project serves to support  works at the University of Rochester seeking to determine the immune mechanisms  responsible for HIV-1 dementia. Drugs that affect pathways for neuronal  destruction will be studied. The overall goals are to design rational  therapeutic strategies to ameliorate HAND and rapidly bring promising agents to  Phase-I trials in a well-defined cohort of patients at risk for disease.<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska  Center for Nanomedicine (COBRE) &#8211; Co-Investigator &#8211; Dr. Boska<br \/>\n  The goal of this grant is to develop an  interdisciplinary Nanomedicine Center at UNMC, including a team of scientists  with expertise in nanomedicine, drug delivery, therapeutics and diagnostics, as  well as biochemists, pharmacologists, immunologists and neuroscientists. All  will work, with a singular focus, to develop the means to best use devices of  nanoscale size to improve outcomes for cancer and degenerative diseases. <\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a
