  • Summary of last week meeting:
    • Our goal is to create a new cell for i2b2 to allow the PACS of each institution to communicate with i2b2 and XNAT.
    • This new application is called the STAR software.


  • i2b2 to XNAT to DICOM:
    • i2b2 can generate a list of patients who have images that a PI wants to acquire from the PACS (and then send to XNAT)
    • The jobs of the STAR software are:
      • understand how to communicate using DICOM messages.
      • understand the restrictions to the PACS so it does not bring the down PACS.
      • to satisfy Radiology department apprehensions about a software getting access to their PACS.
      • make sure only authorized people can get access to the data.


  • Workflow:
    • How do we get images out? From an accession number (also known by others systems of hospitals), one can get access to a study.
