Dear NBIA Users,
We are pleased to announce the release of version 4.4 of the National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA), available at http://imaging.nci.nih.gov.
Some of the new features included in this release are:
Create and share custom lists of images
Capability to create a Shared List, which allows a logged-in user to create a saved list of image series which can be easily shared with colleagues or published in journal articles where he/she wants to link to his/her data. It can be created based on cases in the data basket or by uploading a CSV list of the series UIDs for the images.
Capability to search a Shared List, which allows any user (public or logged-in users) to search a shared list and add the list content into the data basket for download.
Improved Quality Control
Completely redesigned integrated QC Tool to improve performance and usability.
Administrative delete function, which allows the curator set one or more image series status as "To be deleted" via redesigned QC tool; and the super curator review the series marked as "To be deleted", and approve the deletion or not.
Direct Link to more information about the image collections
Integration with collection description. The administrator is able to modify the description of the collection with a rich text editor implemented in NBIA
