Agenda

Harvard Catalyst Medical Informatics group Meeting Minutes June 8, 2010

In attendance:

mi2b2 STAR-D site installation update:
- Progress: able to retrieve image to middle layer using cmove, upload to file repository -
- next phase: taking user interface design and working logic into that new design.
- talked with Mike Darcy at USC about what they're doing. They are using dcm4chee as a caching mechanism -- problem is that there is no delete command for dcm4chee... (but this exists on the console, so Steve, Chris feel this functionality must be there somewhere?)
- Discuss another tool called "PixelMed"
- Steve also describes dcmtk.

advisory board meeting preparation
- want to present where we are with each site
- how close are we to being able to deliver
- what are our plans for the next six months.
- Shawn wants to be able to say we are only moving test images for the next six months during testing.
- These are real patients, all modalities, move things over to XNAT.
- We will not be supporting an actual study at this point -- just in testing phase.
- Collaborations with WashU: XNAT people are off preparing their example for how to receive images from mi2b2 STAR-D using webservices.
  - Their example will tell us how to describe image data of interest using an xml wrapper
  - log in and be authenticated.
  - upload it using webservices API (this should be pretty close.
  - send our team the play-by-play 'how-to' documentation.
- How will XNAT authenticate?
  - STAR-D has images. May want to send them to Project A, Project B, or Project C on XNAT.
  - STAR-D has an administrative password for XNAT. It will use that admin password to comm with XNAT.
  - STAR-D will request a sessionID giving user name and password: XNAT will give access to any project with compatible permissions.
- Keeping an Audit Trail: Should we generate an audit trail that lists
  - who accessed,
  - what data was retreived and
  - and where it went?
