Tool/Resource: Morphometry BIRN - News

New MBIRN data set released

khelmer@www.nitrc.org (Karl Helmer) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:21:16 GMT

This data set consists of spoiled gradient-recalled echo magnetic resonance imaging data from five healthy volunteers scanned multiple times at multiple sites having 1.5T systems from different vendors (Siemens, GE, Marconi Medical Systems). For each subject, four Fast Low-Angle Shot(FLASH) scans with flip angles of 3, 5, 20, and 30 degrees were obtained in a single scan session, from which tissue proton density and T1 maps can be derived. These data were acquired to investigate various metrics of within-site and across-site reproducibility. This study was sponsored by the Brain Morphometry testbed (MBIRN) of the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN). The images have been defaced so that no facial features can be reconstructed from these data.

BIRN All Hands Meeting - 2007

dnkennedy@www.nitrc.org (David Kennedy) — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 17:13:24 GMT

Location: Bethesda, MD
Date: October 15-18, 2007
Hotel: Marriot Bethesda

The Theme: To highlight integration between testbeds, track past integration efforts and identify more ways to share knowledge across the entire BIRN landscape.

The Goal: Assess the progress made in the last year on integration issues identified at the last AHM. Chairs of the Working Groups would set the schedule, agendas, including what break out sessions are needed. Chairs would be responsible for overall identification and development of deliverables, with specific dates, for the next year.
