Tool Overview

Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameNBIA

The

National

Biomedical

Imaging

Archive

([NBIA|https://imaging.nci.nih.gov/ncia/])

is

a

free

and

open

-source

service

and

a software

application

that

enables

users

to

securely

store,

search,

and

download

diagnostic

medical

images,

providing

a

searchable

national

repository

integrating

in

vivo

cancer

images

with

clinical

and genomic

data.

Using

role-based

security,

NBIA

provides

web-based

access

to

de-

identified

identify DICOM

images

, image markup, annotations, and rich meta data

.

The NBIA download package is a ZIP package that includes the NBIA application, supporting libraries, the RSNA MIRC application (with NBIA modifications), documentation, and a sample NBIA database. A web-based visualization and annotation tool, I-Response, is available to users of the NCI NBIA instance.

-Response provides immediate on-screen visualization of DICOM images integrated with NBIA query results and is to support persistence of annotations from client to NBIA archive.

Along with the Clinical Trial Processor software from the Radiological Society of North America, NBIA supports customized de-identification of images. NBIA is able to integrate with other imaging applications to cull various data types, such as image annotations, clinical data, genomic data, and other research files, such as RT objects.NBIA can also federate with other instances of NBIA to support the response of multiple NBIA servers to a single query.

NCI's hosted instance of NBIA is freely available and provides researchers and clinicians with a robust DICOM archive that can securely share and access images to enhance scientific research and support clinical decision making. Anyone can deploy a local node of NBIA and, using caGrid infrastructure, securely share data across the grid.

The ultimate goals of the project include:

  1. Creation of an imaging informatics infrastructure that provides cost-effective support for purpose-built and other databases as necessary, precluding the need to create separate infrastructure for each database;
  2. Development of searchable imaging reference libraries linked to clinical outcomes data to assist researchers and practitioners;
  3. Availability of the archive for mining and integration by the broader research and clinical community; and
  4. Robust support for data-driven decision making in oncology and medical practice in general by clinicians throughout the world.

Installation and Downloads

NBIA Artifacts

NBIA provides a simplified approach to install on Linux and Windows platforms. Much of the installation process has been automated so that if you accept the default values, you can install NBIA by typing the single command ant. With the exception of the database, all supporting tools are automatically installed and configured as part of the installation. The installation package contains the binaries and scripts necessary to install the application, API, and grid service. Refer to the installation guide for details.

All the artifacts as listed are available from the NBIA SVN repository releases/NBIA-5_1 sub-directory. Documentation is available on the NBIA wiki.
