Overview
The Center for Computational Imaging (CCI) provides solutions and services aimed to make imaging research more tractable to members of the scientific community. The CCI works with researchers to provide services, training, and guidance for image analysis and informatics. The CCI develops support tools, informatics tools, and infrastructure, to help advance imaging research for the center's user, collaborators, and the medical imaging community.
Capabilities
Services and Support - The CCI provides services and support to facilitate research using imaging data. The CCI works with investigators through all stages of a study such as planning, data processing, and data analysis.
Software Development - The CCI develops and supports software libraries to integrate a diverse package of data analysis tools and sample data. This includes common data analysis tasks (e.g. fMRI pre/post-processing, DTI processing, VBM etc.) as well as project-specific solutions.
Research Database - The CCI maintains a multi-terabyte research PACS (picture archiving and communication system) as a central storage mechanism to archive and maintain imaging data.
VUIIS Cluster and Workstations - The CCI maintains and supports a multi-node processing cluster and a group of advanced workstations configured for imaging data analysis.
Current Activities
- Imaging Resources - The CCI seeks to encourage, support, and facilitate data sharing efforts and inter-investigator/inter-institutional collaborations.
Highlights
The Center for Computational Imaging (CCI) aims to provide infrastructure, image analysis, and informatics expertise to facilitate basic science research using imaging data, while developing novel approaches to computational imaging techniques. The CCI targets solutions and services in three key areas:
- Services: The CCI provides resources for researchers that alleviate the training and expertise required with traditional package-based image processing solutions. In addition, we work with researchers to create project-specific tools to extend analysis capabilities.
- Infrastructure: The CCI develops, maintains, and supports software and hardware solutions that contribute to streamlining data storage, retrieval, analysis.
- Research: The CCI is active in many projects to develop and apply novel image analysis and informatics techniques to a wide variety of research areas.
