FUSION
FUSION - Framework and Unified System for Investigation On Neurosciences - is a hardware and software platform specifically designed and dedicated to collect, integrate, develop, manage and provide data and metadata generated in a laboratory of modern imaging. The system is optimized for clinical research and basic functions of the human brain from capture to finish.
Designed and validated in the operational context of Magnetic Resonance Laboratory for Brain Investigation of Fermi Center and Neuroimaging Laboratory of the Saint Lucia Foundation in Rome, several interesting aspects of technological innovation achieved, including the creation of an integrated multi-modal analysis with a repository that allows intelligent maintenance of all this information at every step of processing from raw data to final result.
FUSION combines in a single solution, the following components:

 

  • A DICOM server DICOM 3.0 compliant Open Source (Conquest)
  • A PACS server Open Source (Conquest)
  • An EEG loader EDF (European Data Format) compliant
  • A-DICOM converter Nifti
  • A classifier of sequences DICOM
  • A processing module consists of several components: Loni pipeline server (open source application) integrated with the main SW-processing (Matlab, FSL, hafnium ..) and configurable grid on open source (sun grid engine), a service for 'execution of processes and a' Purge 'for the abolition of automatic processing dated
  • A-G Web server backend of Labview
  • A Web server front end that uses the open source Apache 2.2 HTTP server, OpenSSL and PHP to generate the web interface users encrypted
therefore:
interfaces to biomedical DICOM and EDF (CT MRI, PET and CT, Electro);

 

  • makes available the raw data just acquired, classified by type, in a hierarchy-oriented research to users, also in interchange Nifti suitable for use by the main analysis software;
  • allows processing of data and robust with adequate benefits, through an approach to grid computing;
  • provides a simple and user access via secure web based interface, integrated with secure authentication methods and standards.
  • FUSION can develop for a specific subject of the data protocols of multi clinical use, is applied to the isolated longitudinal and the execution of the same survey at different times. Similarly, you can manage protocols to support the statistical study of the function or morphology of the brain at very large groups of healthy subjects or patients suffering from neurological or psychiatric disorders. The platform lends itself well to longitudinal monitoring of clinical trials for the development of new treatments or new drugs, thanks to the web tool that allow the coordination and collaboration between different research centers, through the exchange of information and data on encrypted channels .
