Part 3 - Wrapping Up

We’ve now reached the end - you’ve completed and automated a common scenario in handling medical imaging data.

1. Received DICOM imaging data from a clinical environment containing PHI
2. Decided to store the data in a common, accessible and secure space
3. De-identified the received imaging data to remove PHI from the DICOM metadata
4. Taken into consideration risk of re-identification in the image and defaced the image
5. Run further processing on the images to gain volumetric information

To do this you’ve automated and streamlined many of the steps by using a centrally set-up system, and pre-built container based tools. You’ve also compared the effect of defacing on your downstream processing.

In 3-1 Conclusions you’ll summarise what you have found and learnt throughout the project into a short presentation to give on Friday at the end of the Summer School.

If you’ve finished early, take a look at 3-2 Additional Processing for some ideas of additional activities you can do around interacting with data and processing on the XNAT.
