Introduction

The caBIG® Annotation and Image Markup (AIM) information model can be used to store image annotations and markups using well-defined common data elements and controlled terminologies. The project has software tools to capture and create AIM annotations. AIM Template Builder (ATB) has been created to assists clinicians, image researchers, or clinical trial study designers to create a set of controlled questions and related answers to each question for a particular type of imaging study, without requiring knowledge of the AIM information model. A study’s image interpreters can make simple and constrained annotations in a structured format based on AIM templates. These templates contain a vast amount for knowledge and expertise from imaging experts. Sharing AIM templates requires ATB users to share an AIM template by e-mail, CD/DVD and/or USB drive. These methods may not be convenience exchanging AIM templates.

AIM Template Service (ATS) has been created to store AIM templates on the Internet. ATS allows AIM users using ATB and/or ATS web interface to upload, search and download shared AIM templates. It also allows templates owners to make a template private or share with a set of AIM templates with other ATS users.
