The AIM Template Manager allows you to generate a set of well-defined questions and answer choices to facilitate collecting information for a particular purpose, such as a The Cancer Genome Atlas Glioblastoma (TCGA GBM) study. These questions and answers are contained in an AIM XML template file that you can import into an AIM-enabled application. Aided by the information in the XML file, users of the AIM-enabled application can then annotate medical images using a controlled vocabulary and standard template. This results in simple and constrained annotations that are reproducible and consistent. Finally, the AIM-enabled application captures answers and then exports them as an AIM XML document or AIM Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Structured Reporting class (SR), which can be sent to the AIM Data Service or DICOM store storage Service Class Provider (SCP), respectively.

You use the AIM Template Manager to design templates based on a lexicon of standard and user-definable terms. You can then collect multiple templates into template groups. You complete the process by downloading a template group as an XML file to your local computer.
