  • response is checked for http error codes
  • xml parsed to get list of projects
  • GUI populated
  • One project selected

  • response is checked for http error codes
  • xml parsed to get list of subjects
  • GUI populated
  • One subject selected
  • User selects filters to narrow scan search
  • User selects "search" for all scans
  • XNAT queried for appropriate scans
  • response is checked for http error codes
  • xml is parsed to get list of scans
  • GUI is populated
  • User selects one scan and "download"
  • Scan is loaded into Slicer

Each step is detailed below.

1. Select XNAT Enterprise Server

2. Authentication Dialog Presented

  • Enter user name and password

3. Process Dialog Input

  • Save the username (XNE_UserName) and password (XNE_Password)

curl -d POST $XNE_Svr/REST/JSESSION -u $XNE_UserName:$XNE_Password

4. Query XNAT for Projects Available to User

curl $XNE_Srv/REST/projects?format=xml --cookie JSESSIONID=$sessionID
  • response is checked for http error codes
