Harvard Catalyst Medical Informatics group Meeting Minutes May 24, 2011

In attendance:

mi2b2 Version 5 is wrapped up. A test run was done yesterday, the final version will be available today.
Dave made a lot of progress on the encryption phase. He encrypted the folder structure. The default is to encrypt but user can choose to have it unencrypted.
Task management and cache management are the next projects.
- Task management: we initiate DICOM move but sometimes the server will only listen for a certain time then stop. Right now it is one process, we initiate the request, wait for response (5 minutes), and wait for images. It is sometimes difficult to know if it is an error and images will not come or if one should wait longer. Future: move and wait for will be separated.
- Cache management: cache limit per project.

Meeting with Ellen: deliverable is to build a normal atlas but to have specialized sub-atlas is also good. The more data the better, it is more appealing in order to show that we are the only ones able to do it because of the amount of data we have. Randy added these new considerations in the grant draft.

Image converted to format without DICOM header (NIFTI), is it sufficiently deindentified? IRB will have to make the case project by project. If we can show that 3D face reconstruction will not be possible, they should accept.
