Human and animal images are in TCIA.

Given the technical challenges inherent in such a system, technical solutions are being developed. One of the most fundamental to the success of the Integrated Query System is an Application Program Interface (API) that provides a Representational State Transfer (REST) API to TCIA metadata and image collections. This API is built using a middleware platform called Bindaas that also forms the backend infrastructure of caMicroscope. Bindaas is open source and extensible, so can be expanded to include more data types and additional integration. This API is being designed to support federation of multiple information repositories using the concept of data mashups. A data mashup in this case is a software interface, much like a dashboard, that allows a person to visualize and analyze data from different sources. The Integrated Query System, with its support for whole slides and data mashups, will act as a foundation for a broader set of novel community research projects.
