TRAC Team (Tumor Response)

What is TRAC?

TRAC stands for Tumor Response Assessment by Criteria, which describes a service of reviewing medical imaging modalities with identification and measurements of characterization tumor burden/response. The TRAC reports provided are simultaneously morphologic annotations and calculations of tumor response

TRAC Mission

TRAC team provides a standardized approach to the multi-faceted process of evaluating tumor response. We use internationally established response criteria to provide quantitative assessments of tumor therapy response. Our efforts simplify the process for clinicians and principal investigators to attain comprehensive tumor response assessments. Ultimately, these reports provide straightforward and transparent results which can be shared with patients, thereby improving the patient experience.

TRAC Reports

TRAC reports provide detailed measurements for each target, non-target, and other findings as needed per response criteria. Additionally, the series and slice measured is included for ease of finding lesions in PACS or other.

Lesion Snapshots

Lesion Snapshots provide a glimpse into the actual portion of the radiology image which was measured, and shows the outline of the measurement along with the details of the measurement below the image.

Lesion Overview Chart

The Lesion Overview Chart illustrates how individual target lesions have responded in a stacked chart. This can help delineate graphically the relative response between all target lesions identified.

Image Key

In the ordering interface, at the questions “What type of special image processing is requested”, select “Tumor Response Assessment”.
Indicate whether this patient is known to participate in a research trial.
REQUIRED: Select response criteria. Choose only what is required for care or documented research.
Indicate whether the CT/MRI is a baseline or follow-up time point for response. REQUIRED: If follow-up, provide baseline date (when current treatment began).
Provide contact info so that we may ask questions when necessary.
