+TranSMART-XNAT Coupling
+----------
TranSMART (http://transmartfoundation.org) is a data integration and browsing platform for central statistical analysis in translational research.
XNAT (www.xnat.org) is a framework to store, share and manage medical imaging data. This imaging archive can be connected to a computing cluster for further image analyses. After analyses of the images, the analysis results (e.g. grey matter volumes) can be stored back in XNAT.
-To correlate the image-derived results with other medical data, such as demographic or genetic data, it would be useful to import the XNAT results in TranSMART. To this end, we developed the TranSMART-XNAT-Importer plugin (hereafter called plugin). To configure which XNAT image-derived data is imported in TranSMART, an administrator can create a coupling configuration in the online administration panel and start the import process. The plugin uses the default ETL Importer for clinical data to import the XNAT results in TranSMART.
