Sharing data and image processing tools in neuroimaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research in neuroscience makes an extensive use of modern neuroimaging data. The ability to share such data as well as processing tools to analyze them becomes a key factor of success of future research. This paper reports about works carried out in the context of the Neurobase project, a collaborative exploratory action supported by the French Ministry of Research. The partners have studied the design of a system suitable for sharing heterogeneous data and image processing tools, according to a federated approach, based on a common ontology. A demonstrator has been implemented, providing basic services for querying data and launching processing tools distributed at several sites.

Quantitative Comparison of SPM, FSL, and Brainsuite for Brain MR Image Segmentation
Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...
متن کاملNeuroBase : Management of Distributed and Heterogeneous Information Sources in Neuroimaging
The Neurobase project has for objective to establish the conditions allowing the federation through Internet of information sources in neuroimaging, where sources are distributed in different experimental sites, hospitals or research centers in cognitive neurosciences and contain data and image processing methods. This project consists in the definition of a computer architecture allowing the a...
متن کاملFederating Distributed and Heterogeneous Information Sources in Neuroimaging: The NeuroBase Project
The NeuroBase project aims at studying the requirements for federating, through the Internet, information sources in neuroimaging. These sources are distributed in different experimental sites, hospitals or research centers in cognitive neurosciences, and contain heterogeneous data and image processing programs. More precisely, this project consists in creating of a shared ontology, suitable fo...
متن کاملA simple tool for neuroimaging data sharing
Data sharing is becoming increasingly common, but despite encouragement and facilitation by funding agencies, journals, and some research efforts, most neuroimaging data acquired today is still not shared due to political, financial, social, and technical barriers to sharing data that remain. In particular, technical solutions are few for researchers that are not a part of larger efforts with d...
متن کاملTowards structured sharing of raw and derived neuroimaging data across existing resources
Data sharing efforts increasingly contribute to the acceleration of scientific discovery. Neuroimaging data is accumulating in distributed domain-specific databases and there is currently no integrated access mechanism nor an accepted format for the critically important meta-data that is necessary for making use of the combined, available neuroimaging data. In this manuscript, we present work f...
