NeuroInformatics Database

Overview

The Neuroinformatics Database (NiDB) is designed to store, retrieve, analyze, and share neuroimaging data. Modalities include MR, EEG, ET, video, genetics, assessment data, and any binary data. Subject demographics, family relationships, and data imported from RedCap can be stored and queried in the database.

Features

  • .rpm based installation for CentOS 8, RHEL 8, Rocky Linux 8 (not for CentOS Stream)
  • Store any neuroimaging data, including MR, CT, EEG, ET, Video, Task, GSR, Consent, MEG, TMS, and more
  • Store any assessment data (paper-based tasks)
  • Store clinical trial information (manage data across multiple days & dose times, etc)
  • Built-in DICOM receiver. Send DICOM data from PACS or MRI directly to NiDB
  • Bulk import of imaging data
  • User and project based permissions, with project admin roles
  • Search and manipulate data from subjects across projects
  • Automated imaging analysis pipeline system
  • "Mini-pipeline" module to process behavioral data files (extract timings)
  • All stored data is searchable. Combine results from pipelines, QC output, behavioral data, and more in one searchable
  • Export data to NFS, FTP, Web download, NDA (NIMH Data Archive format), or export to a remote NiDB server
  • Export to squirrel format
  • Project level checklists for imaging data
  • Automated motion correction and other QC for MRI data
  • Calendar for scheduling equipment and rooms
  • Usage reports, audits, tape backup module
  • Intuitive, modern UI. Easy to use
