Medical Image Data: Basics
DICOM Standard MRI (Magne)c Resonance Imaging)
CT (X-‐ray computed tomography)
PET (Positron emission tomography) Ultrasound
etc.
File structure Mul)ple files (slices) per scan Each file contains image plus DICOM
“header” (metadata) Not fully self-‐describing -‐ addi)onal
metadata may be required Wide variety in number of files per scan,
and in file size
Tradi)onal file storage Picture Archive and Communica)on
(PACS) system
File based storage

Issues with Traditional Clinical Trial Process
Business Process Issues Manual process with mul@ple poten@al points of failure
No systema@zed/standardized data management process
Data Access/Review Issues Image data are stored at Core Labs, not readily accessible Access can be expensive
Data re-‐purposing can be difficult/impossible
Data Security Issues Non-‐secured data transfer No audit trail
Data Quality Issues Dependent on the Core Lab Not possible to verify
No mechanism for enforcement of standards
Evolution: 1
Up to 2006 Tradi)onal process No ISV clinical research solu)ons for medical image data
management available; only hospital PACS systems
2006 – 07 Web-‐based solu)on
Ownership of the data Secure Image Data Transfer over HTTP(S)
Applet-‐based Standards-‐based manifest file (e.g. CDISC ODM)
Data Quality: rules-‐based, repeatable Integra@on with CDMS Integra@on with DICOM worksta@ons for image review Image data storage on the file system
Evolution: 2
2008 Oracle 11g: storage of the image data in the database using Oracle
Mul)media DICOM No more file system. Storage of the image data in DICOM objects on the
database Enhanced quality conformance checking Streamlined data backup/archive process
2009-‐10 SOA-‐based Web Services
Comprehensive REST API for data upload, normaliza@on, valida@on, download, and review
SOA-‐based Adapters with JMS Messaging Integra@on with 3rd party systems, DICOM Worksta@ons Automated analysis of image data with plug and play algorithms Automated alerts for outliers or specified criteria; mobile review
Validation/Performance Test
2011 Performance Test Summary Measured five major processes using REST Services: data upload, extract/
normalize, validate, download, view Representa@ve sample of image data from five modali@es – MR, PET, CT,
Ultrasound and Mammography Increased user connec@ons from 25 to 50 to 100 to 800 as we increased
database nodes from 1 to 2 to 4
Results Summary Scalability
From 25 to 800 concurrent users – almost zero performance degrada@on From one to four database nodes, performance gain averaged 250%
Data Throughput Over 800% faster than equivalent tests on commodity hardware (1 TB of image
data uploaded in under 1 hour)
Performance DICOM Viewer: Sub-‐second @me to first image over DICOM protocol for PET, CT,
MR As user connec@ons are increased, user response @mes improve consistently
Use Cases
Automated Analysis Automated algorithmic image processing
Plug and play algorithms
Alerts Use Case Configurable alert criteria Alerts via email, text message (SMS)
Physician mobile review (iPad, droid) Remote pa@ent review/browser
Remote image review, e.g. Osirix on iPad
