4. Image Data Management and Shared Imaging Data
The Morphometry BIRN and NAMIC submitted proposal for the CTSC Imaging Consortium and Informatics Core for a data management system was discussed by the group. Bill Hanlon likes this organizational approach for being able to solve immediate problems. He will edit in specific use cases to document and circulate. Bruce Rosen sat in on last RSNA-CTSA Neuroinformatics call. Thinks there is a need for someone with greater expertise than him to represent our Harvard efforts. There is already a launched effort led by the caBIG, ACRIN, and some already funded CTSA sites such as Duke and Wash U. Gather
that would support both local clinical translational investigators doing their own imaging studies and sharing image data collections more broadly. Randy will forward the draft document to the group in advance of next Tuesday's meeting for group discussion.
5. Curation of Site Resources
Sophisticated and appropriate approach.
+++Group reviewed MGH site resources as template for how to format all sites. Approved the concept. Randy will polish the MGH site resources to be in harmony with other CTSC needs with the help of the Navigators on Friday July 25th. The navigators will then contact each site's representative to make a meeting to get all site's resources loaded in the same format. This will be done for image acquisition, analysis visualization and data management resources as well as educational/training resources (new column added). Agreed to include animal imaging resources but clearly separated so that when the material is migrated to CONNECTS we initially copy only the human but have the animal stuff ready to go when they are requested (as they likely will be).
