Virtual Imaging Platform

Virtual Imaging Platform enables sharing, integration, and execution of object models and medical image simulators for medical image simulation and large-scale multi-modality imaging experiments.

Key Features:

• Object model and simulator sharing: Shares object models and medical image simulators via a common repository.
• Ontology-based standardization: Uses ontologies to ensure standardized description, consistency, and interoperability of models and simulators.
• Integrated simulator workflows: Integrates multiple simulators into cohesive workflow templates for multi-modality imaging simulations.
• Distributed computing and storage: Exploits distributed computing and storage resources to support large-scale simulations.
• EGI biomed e-infrastructure integration: Operates on the biomed virtual organization within the EGI e-infrastructure to access distributed resources.

Scientific Applications:

• Medical image simulation: Performs simulation of medical images across multiple imaging modalities.
• Multi-modality imaging workflows: Constructs and executes workflows combining simulators across different image modalities.
• Large-scale computational experiments: Enables large-scale simulation campaigns leveraging distributed computing and storage.

Methodology:

Shares object models and medical image simulators in a common repository using ontologies for standardization; integrates simulators into workflow templates and exploits distributed computing and storage resources provided by the biomed virtual organization within the EGI e-infrastructure.
