Overview of Services
Established as a research center by Brain Science Institute, the Center for Brain Imaging Science (CBIS) is dedicated to provide state-of-the-art image analysis technologies to researchers in Hopkins community. Our main architectures are being built upon cloud-based system (MriCloud), which utilizes national super-computing systems. Using this cloud system, users’ data are uploaded directly by users or by our staff and results will be available for download after fully automated calculations. For image analyses that require manual interventions, we also offer data analysis based on local executable programs such as MriStudio. The service includes automated brain segmentation based on MR images, processing of diffusion tensor imaging, and manual image segmentation. As our services are based on analyses of electronic image files, our center is not facility-oriented. The cloud system has very flexible capability to utilize various computational resources. The center continues to seek for freely available or inexpensive national or public computing resources through grant mechanisms and make them available for users. The center is a recipient of more than 1 million free CPU hours from the XSEDE Computational Anatomy portal (San Diego Gordon and Texas Stampede) in 2015 and 2016.
Collaborating imaging centers include
F. M. Kirby Research Center This center is dedicated to brain MR imaging and equipped with three modern human MRI scanners including 3T and 7T Philips scanners.
Radiology MRI Service Center This center is located closely to Radiology clinical scanners and has four human MR scanners including 1.5T (Siemens, GE) and 3.0T (Siemens, Philips).
CBIC also has close ties with Center for Imaging Science (CIS) on the Homewood campus aimed at furthering its existing cutting-edge image analysis technologies and putting them to best use.
CBIS consists of four cores offering comprehensive service for MR and PET-based research
•
Protocol Development Core - This core helps users design data acquisition plans.
• Image Analysis Core - This core provides an image analysis service.
• Educational Core - This core teaches how to use image analysis tools.
• Research Support Core - This core helps users prepare grant applications. Financial support is also available through this core.
