D-GRID_MedlnfoGRlD: Provider for integrated medical information image data, therapy options, documentation, research
Project description
The overall aim of the joint project is to create a user-transparent virtual documentation and information server that provides disease-relevant image and diagnostic findings as well as research and therapy information based on an integrated data structure. For the special medical requirements, data protection functionalities and the infrastructure for the administration of very large and complex distributed data volumes must be developed. The medical focus is on tumour diseases. In line with the philosophy of the Internet, a self-growing structure is to be developed on an open source basis, i.e. the project is open to all interested participants. The solution makes it possible for doctors and researchers to exchange integrated image findings data, e.g. for rare diseases or expert consultations, in compliance with data protection regulations. The standards for the solutions were chosen so that they can be linked to large national and international projects and are compatible with the DICOM and IHE medical standards.
The tasks of CHILI within the framework of the sub-project were as follows:
-
Connection of storage and databases
-
Provision of functionality for the exchange of specialised medical information and medical data (including image data) as well as telemedicine functionalities
-
Conception of interfaces and database structures
-
Creating, configuring and testing the interfaces to the local systems in Magdeburg and Mainz
-
Creating the interfaces to the pathology system
-
Customisation of the recording and evaluation masks in the web interface
-
Implementation of a telemedicine solution in the GRID environment
The results of this project are software implementations that are available on the MedInfoGrid cluster. In particular, these are the services:
- Educational image collection
Pathology viewer
Telemedicine file
These are integrated into the other services of the cluster.
