Unified testbed GRID (Research RHIO) environment for:

1
Unified testbed GRID (Research RHIO) environment
for

1. Large IQ (image quantification) test dataset
   (image archive) distributed and analyzed using
   different IQ algorithms
2. Data elements, ontologies support 1) IQ and IQ
   comparison information, 2) human annotation, 3)
   clinical, 4) image acquisition/reconstruction
   information (Eliot dataset)
3. Interoperation of IQ efforts ACRIN, OSU, COG,
   OSU, QARC, ACRIN, PBTC other (e.g NTROI).
   Common data management, interoperability,
   workflow (some sort of RSNA demo cooperative
   groups)
4. Workshop to bring together key imaging clinical
   trial groups
5. OSU/RSNA
6. Imaging support for clinical trials
7. NTROI demonstration of interoperability between
   MIRC and caGrid (John implementation using
   SciPort).For demo, can map MIRC data definitions
   to caGrid metadata

Unified testbed GRID (Research RHIO) environment
for

• Reference implementation of plugins/workflow for
  WG23 standards. Development environment for
  multivendor interoperable imaging plugins.
  Research community can build professional grade
  applications that can run either in client server
  mode or on multi vendor grid environment. Will
  get data from multi-vendor clinical trials.
• 1,2 and 3 in 2006 InfoRad RSNA exhibit area and
  would be ongoing projects
• Additional ongoing project
• Support, integrate and interoperate with internal
  NCI image management and analysis framework

Near Term Architecture-related projects

• Interoperability with MIRC (and other non caGrid
  environments)
• Support for multiple clinical trial/clinical
  testbeds (MIRC/caGRID interoperability)
• Workflow
• Integrate industry components into caGrid --
  leverage Siemens development environment to
  integrate toolkits
• Use to specify workflows that integrate caGrid
  components
• Use to generate components that run on
  proprietary workstations (DICOM WG23 dependence)
• Liason to WG23 (Give to Standards group), layer
  on VTK/ITK

Critical Path

Near Term Architecture-related projects

• Metadata integration Integration of DICOM, IHE
  data models into caDSR, GME
• Optimized support for image objects
• Technology evalution GridPacs, data replication
  management service, STORM, BIRN
• Cooperative group workshop
• Spatial data management
• Information from different CAD algorithms, human
  annotations pertaining to same patient, comparing
  different studies on same patient, comparing same
  anatomic locations between patients
• High level specification and compilation of image
  acquisition protocols)
• Push clinical protocol (pulse sequences) to
  imaging
• Grid image analysis components to support IQ

Essential architectural element Could hardwire
for demo
Major impact long term project
