XNAT-PIC

XNAT-PIC extends XNAT to manage, store, and process large multimodal preclinical imaging datasets produced by molecular imaging modalities for preclinical research.

Key Features:

• Expansion of Core Functionalities: Extends XNAT's clinical-oriented capabilities with tools and pipelines tailored for preclinical imaging and large multimodal datasets.
• Data Management and Distribution: Provides standardized storage, importation, and secure distribution for raw and processed data from various imaging machinery and modalities.
• Enhanced Reproducibility: Implements standardized tools and pipelines to ensure consistent processing and handling of image datasets across studies.
• Promotion of Open Science Practices: Enables secure hosting and sharing of preclinical imaging datasets to support data exchange and collaboration within the research community.

Scientific Applications:

• Standardization of Data Handling: Standardizes importation and processing workflows for large preclinical imaging datasets across studies and institutions.
• Facilitation of Multimodal Imaging Studies: Supports management and combined analysis of multimodal imaging data in preclinical investigations.
• Enhanced Collaboration and Data Sharing: Supports secure data hosting and distribution to facilitate collaboration and dissemination within preclinical imaging research.

Methodology:

Integrates new tools and standardized pipelines into XNAT's infrastructure to support importation and processing of large multimodal preclinical imaging datasets from various imaging modalities.
