A Virtual Research Environment for Cancer Imaging (VRE-CI) • JISC VRE frameworks phase 3. • 18 months 01/05/2009 – 31/10/2010. • Project Partner: Microsoft Research • Lee Dirks • Alex Wade • Roger Barga • Team members: • PI. Prof. Anne E. Trefethen • Co-I. Dr. Vicente Grau • Project Manager Dr. M. Susana Avila-Garcia. • Technical developer: Dr. Pin Hu. • http://www.oerc.ox.ac.uk/research/vre-ci VRE-CIproject is funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) to provide a framework to allow researchers and clinicians involved in Cancer Imaging to share information, images and algorithms.
VRE-CI Extend the functionality of the Research Information Centre (RIC) and include tools for articulating and sharing imaging algorithms through the integration of Trident.
Current activities • Initial experiences: • Installation of the RIC. • Licensing • Becoming familiar with the RIC architecture. • Defining data models: • Using and adapting both DICOM information model and the data model defined by the Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) of the National Cancer Institute. https://cabig.nci.nih.gov/ • Ensure automatic population of image metadata when loading DICOM files. • Investigating into analysis models (algorithms, inputs & results) • Developing Web parts and Web services for algorithms for cancer image segmentation. • Working with the technical administrator and developer of the Gray Institute to address the access to their server and data.
