BIAC Processing Pipeline Jimmy Dias BIAC September 8, 2003
Outline • Data Flow • Data Processing* • Current Processing • Additional Processing • Extra files • Storage Options • Work in Progress: Server Side Processing* *information on BIAC website
Data Flow Scanners: 1.5T + 4.0T Processing Servers: Fourier, Dirac Storage: Huxley, Hodgkin, Bristol Data Access: BIAC, non-BIAC CCN UNC GSK BIAC …. Tape Backup
Processing Overview • Transfer daemon • Pfile Transfer • Additional Data Paths • Processing Daemon • Experiment ID specific Processing options • Fully automated • Transfer to Storage
Transfer Daemon • Tech responsibilities • Patient ID field (case insensitive) • Pfiles – functionals and spectroscopy • Checkstatus • Monitoring Disk Space • Recon on the Console (testing) • Anatomicals (DICOM) • Works in Progress • ADW file transfer • Paradigm File Transfer
Current Processing • Reconstruction • Recons available –spiral, invspiral, epiduke • PSD mapping • Output File format options • 3d versus 4d • Compression • Additional Files • BIAC XML Header • Pfile Header • Quality Assurance – Stability Plots
Additional Processing • Time Slice Correction • SPM windowed sinc interpolation • Cubic spline interpolation • Motion Correction using AIR • Parameters: rigid body 6 parameter model with least squares with intensity rescaling • Normalization using AIR • Surface reconstruction (currently being tested)
Storage • Storage Area Network (SAN) • 1.3 TB backed by 10+ TB near-line storage • Bristol • Netapp Boxes • Huxley and Hodgkin • Quotas • SFTP Server • Access to Netapp from outside BIAC
Work in Progress: Server Processing • UNIX processing • Processing scripts available • LoadLeveler • Client/Server Software • Security (Kerberos authentication) • Safe and reliable access to data • Uses numerous powerful packages • Insight Toolkit • UCLA’s AIR • SPM
