<!-- Objective bullet points -->
* Add functionality to an Electron App, BrainVerse - An electronic laboratory notebook, to allow adding, navigating and visualizing DICOM images
|
<!-- Approach and Plan bullet points -->
* Explore Electron API to access and navigate files within a local directory     
* Build GUI to acquire DICOM images
** Create a form to input values and trigger fMRI scanner and save the acquired images from the scanner in the local app directory
** Encode the provenance information of the DICOM image to a jsonld file 
** Further, the files would be sent to a remote triple store
* Build an interface to display the acquired images directory
**Allow navigation within the directory
**Search functionality could be provided 
* Display images in the app interface 
**Integrate a viewer with the app to visualize a DICOM image

|
<!-- Progress and Next steps bullet points (fill out at the end of project week) -->
* Built a GUI to obtain DICOM images from a remote server and copy to a given local dir
* Tested Electron IPC mechanism with File API to list files/directories in a given directory required to navigate DICOM images.
** Tested DICOMzero and started integrating with Brainverse
* Explored different DICOM viewers: Papaya, viewerjs, AMI
*Integrated Papaya with BrainVerse
*Next Steps
** Finish adding navigation support for files/directories and build a GUI for it
** Further investigate DICOM viewers to be invoked while opening a file
** Capturing provenance information to a jsonld file
