Project Description

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
Add functionality to an Electron App, BrainVerse - An electronic laboratory notebook, to allow adding, navigating and visualizing DICOM images	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	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
