MIRC Refresher Course:New Developments Medical Imaging Resource Center
MIRC Objective Support the production, storage, indexing and distribution of medical imaging resources: • Teaching files • Scientific & technical documentation • Research images & datasets • Clinical trials data
MIRC Concepts The key concepts: • MIRC is a community of cooperating libraries on the Internet. • The libraries cooperate by supporting a common query mechanism. • The query mechanism allows users to find information wherever it is stored.
Index Server Index Server The MIRC Community User • MIRC Query Service: • Access to the community Internet Index MIRC Sites Server • MIRC Storage Service: • - Document Authoring • Document Storage • Document Indexing • Web Server RSNA
MIRC Implementations Eight known MIRC Software Implementations • MIRC Storage Service layer on top of an existing teaching file system: • UCSF; Indiana; Mallinckrodt; CasImage • Commercial: MyPACS; GlobalRad • Complete MIRC implementations: • RSNA • National Neuroscience Institute, Singapore Many, many MIRC sites
New Developments – RSNA MIRC New authoring tools • Flexible document construction; Annotation Support for third-party authoring programs Research dataset tools • Security; HIPAA audit logging Clinical Trials
New Developments – RSNA MIRC Clinical trials • UPenn and WFU collaboration • NCI collaboration • Acquisition tools for images and metadata • Anonymization • Data transport • External database interface • Solutions to many IT support issues
The RSNA MIRC Implementation HTTP Export XMLServer Submit Service Input Queue Admin Service HTTP Import Object Processor DICOM Export OS File System Storage Service MIRC Index DICOM Import Query Service MIRC Anonymizer DICOM Import File Service Author Service Database Export MIRC Anonymizer
DICOM Service Receives DICOM objects from PACS, workstations, modalities, … Automatic document generation • Images grouped into documents by study • Template-driven • Automatic JPEG generation from DICOM • Programmable anonymization (de-identification and re-identification)
DICOM Service Anonymization • Automatic trial patient ID generation • Remapping of dates, UIDs, IDs, etc. • Removal or replacement of data Connection to other Clinical Trial Services • Support for encrypted communications (SSL) • DICOM import / DICOM export • HTTP(S) import / HTTP(S) export • Database export
Database Interface Links to an externally developed database Provides classes for interrogating: • DICOM objects • Metadata files: • XML • Zip (with manifest) Anonymization for DICOM and XML objects
MIRC Clinical Trial Configuration FC DICOM Firewalls Database PI Internet HTTP HTTPS HTTP DICOM FC DICOM PI DICOM FC DICOM DICOM HTTP • MIRC Site: • Image reception • Image Storage • Transfer to PACS and/or workstations • MIRC FieldCenter Application: • Image reception • Anonymization • Transmission to PI
The FieldCenter Application Runs at the image acquisition site Receives images and metadata files via the DICOM and HTTP(S) protocols Anonymizes images and metadata files Transmits to the PI MIRC site via HTTP(S) Automatically links to the PI MIRC site for remapping tables and software updates
