Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
Published Dec. 6, 2019
This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Xintex, Inc.
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
The SFIs of the investigator are related to the funded research since the technology being used in the project has been licensed to the company with which the investigator has multiple relationships.
The Institution has determined that since the technology could be further validated as a result of the research, these financial interests could conflict with project.
Clinical Evaluation of Primary Sampling Scatter Correction for Chest Tomosynthesis
PROJECT NARRATIVE X-ray scatter is the primary source of image degradation in radiography, mammography and tomosynthesis imaging. Conventional anti-scatter grids can be utilized to reduce scatter, but at the expense of significantly increased dose to the patient. We have developed a scatter sampling technique that uses a very low dose scan to directly measure the scatter, which can then be used to correct the images. The goal of this study is to implement the scatter reduction technique in our stationary digital chest tomosynthesis system. We will evaluate the image quality as compared to conventional imaging in a radiologist reader study on patients with lung lesions.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.
ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
