2010 Winter Project Week XND

Upload pipeline of tagged data to remote host

Key Investigators

• Wendy Plesniak
• Ron Kikinis
• Dan Marcus

Objective

• Modify the XNAT Desktop user interface to have a more PACS-like interface while accounting for complexities of research data that aren't part of typical patient-centric interfaces.
• Slicer will also have a native PACS-like browse/load/safe interface; we want to ensure as parallel a user experience as possible between these two clients to faciliate knowledge transfer.

Approach, Plan

• Use well-received interfaces (Osirix, GE) to motivate the new XND interface. Continue developing mock-ups and iteratively implementing in XND.

• Design for multiple levels of expertise (novice, intermediate, expert), and focus on needs of mi2b2 clinician scientist users as key user group

Progress

Wendy developed an initial mock-up that received additional tuning during her recent visit to STL. Subsequent discussions with Ron have revealed additional requirements and design constraints. Work on transcribing this information and storyboard the browse/load DICOM workflow. Additional must-haves especially from clinician investigators using existing applications (OsiriX) at programmer week are encouraged!.
