Listed below are some of the different systems that will be useful to understand and use for neuroimaging analysis. The descriptions of the platform's capabilities are written specifically for FRONTIER neuroimaging projects.
XNAT
XNAT is an imaging-based platform that is currently used to archive and store raw scans. All original MRI sequences (T1, DWI, fMRI, etc.) are stored in XNAT as a DICOM and niftii format. XNAT is used for the storage of raw scans, viewing scans, and downloading scans for pre-processing.
User guide: XNAT (Imaging Data Service)
Access: require registration and access to Frontier project, log in via here
2. ARGUS
Virtual research desktop. Frontier maintains a shared desktop that everyone within Frontier can use. You can use this to run programs that have a GUI aspect (e.g. fsleyes, mrview), or simply use it as a method to access Artemis via the terminal (for windows users).
User guide: Argus User Guide
Access: uniconnect.cloud.com
3. RDS
The Research Data Store (RDS) provides a central location to securely store digital research data - information is backed up, however, data can not be processed here via Artemis.
User guide:
Access: Requires dashr project
4. Artemis (hpc)
All processing and analysis must be conducted on Artemis (high-performance computing). You should not store data here long term, as this space is only for active processing and is not safely secured/backed up.
User guide:
Access: Requires dashr project
To understand how you may use all these systems, please refer to the General Neuroimaging Process
