Use-case scenarios

External examples

• 

  The available images are displayed as small icons with annotation. User drags images to the display port.

• 

  Available date is displayed in an hierarchical text and icon representation

Use Scenario 1

• I am using Slicer on my laptop and would like to use XNAT desktop to keep data organized on my hard disk

Capabilities needed

• • how to set up when I download slicer?
  • I am upgrading Slicer do I need to upgrade xnat as well?
  • I worked today on a case. I would like to add my derived data and new mrml file to the existing stuff.
  • I would like to upload stuff that is currently in Slicer
  • I would like to download a mrml file and all associated data files.

notes:

Use case for discussion (XNAT tools extension): Slicer use case

XNAT Desktop [ http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer3:XND tutorial ] for Slicer.

• StoreXAR doesn't currently have this functionality
• Tim's suggested workaround for now: separately request a catalog of all files for a given session id. This is similar to what would be returned by StoreXAR as described in the use case.
• log into central.xnat.org and click this link to see catalog
• There's not currently a commandline executable -- we will have to write this.
• The HTTP Session ID needs to be attached to the HTTP Request.
