Mission

See http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~bradd/research.html

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.
