Use-Case Goals
Outcome Metrics
Fundamental Requirements
Participants
- sites involved: MGH NMR center
- number of users: >10
- PI: Brad Dickerson
- staff: Akram Bakkour (Study coordinator/MRI technician/Lab manager)
- clinicians
- IT staff: NMR could provide IT support
Data
The Dickerson lab has about 250 scans for their own studies, and 150 scans for collaborators. Scans include both MRI and fMRI. Other data are stored with Excel spreadsheets.
- Project
- Imaging Modalities
- Genetic
- Storage needs
Images files are currently scattered over several file servers on the same network.
Current Workflow
Current Data Management Process
DICOM files are transferred from the scanners (PACS?) to a local DICOM Server, and then copied to lab machines Images are processed with FreeSurfer.
- Other software to be integrated (e.g., Osirix)
- other features
Target Data Management Process (Step 1.)
Target Processing Workflow (Step 2.)
Other Information
There have been at least two serious attempts using XNAT, working with XNAT support group (NRG) at Harvard. An XNAT with customized schema was developed by Eli White a couple of years ago on Dory at NMR.
The lab recognizes the need for an XNAT-based system to manage images and other data.
