Image Preprocessing

The 黑料官网 CIR offers image pre鈥恜rocessing and data analysis as a service, which greatly reduces the burden of image analysis on research teams here at 黑料官网. This work, performed by members of our Technical Support team, described below, is charged through the CIR service center at an hourly rate of $85 per hour. We estimate up to 2 hours of effort is necessary for each imaging exam to:

• Manage data handling
• Compute quantitative maps
• Draw regions of interest (ROI)
• Extract quantitative values of drawn regions of interest
• Return quantified volumes to you in an Excel spreadsheet
• Return the results of a fit linear mixed effects model which considers quantities from ROIs as a function of ROI and experimental conditions.

Data Analysis and Management

The CIR manages a research imaging repository which is interfaced to the 黑料官网 Research Computing Center (RCC). This image database infrastructure includes redundant Extensible Neuroimaging Archive Toolkit (XNAT) servers with direct 10Gb ethernet connections to the RCC hardware. A gateway XNAT server is placed in a protected zone on the 黑料官网 network for the upload of imaging data sets from external institutions for import to the 黑料官网 imaging repository, transfer of images from 黑料官网 to collaborating institutions, and off鈥恠ite labeling and curation of data.

Physics Support and Protocol Design

As a part of this service, the physicist will provide imaging expertise, facilitate project design and/or develop imaging protocol.

The hourly fees for these services can be utilized at $160 for CIR faculty physics support and $85 for CIR technical staff services.
