2012 Summer Project Week:XNATSlicerIntegration
Key Investigators
- Washington University in St. Louis: Daniel Marcus, Sunil Kumar
- Isomics: Steve Pieper
Objective
Allow data exchange between XNAT and Slicer in the following scenarios:
1) Download and view scans (as DICOMS).
2) Create and upload Slicer Scenes to XNAT, using XNAT-downloaded scans OR locally stored files.
3) Any uploaded Slicer scene package that references XNAT data will be linked to the data. This involves parsing the mrmls and linking the referenced directories to XNAT URLs.
4) Update Slicer scenes stored in XNAT. The interface will be contained entirely within Slicer. The end-state aims to leverage XNAT's web interface. The current state uses the XNAT REST API to construct a tree view.
Approach, Plan
Phase 1: Develop a beta module that fulfills the outlined objectives.
Phase 2: Solidify UI and functionality though user testing.
Phase 3: Port the REST API-based UI into a web-based UI.
Progress
As of June 2012, a beta version of this widget is being tested.
