Target Customers
Potentially new insights gained into the
clinical research problems through integrated data and larger and more able to
be analysed multi-model data sets. Ability to build larger data sets from
otherwise discrete projects based on standardised scans (e.g. structural) and
standard neuropsychological tests (e.g. CANTAB), generating new research data
sets not currently available. The project brings the potential benefit of
providing additional information to referring clinicians that may assist with
clinical care.
The MRI, PET and recently developed High Performance Computing Platform (and the associated molecular imaging capability which includes the flagship research cyclotron) are also associated with the National Imaging Facility (NIF). 10 per cent of instrument time is assigned for access by NIF researchers.

During the first round of the project, professor Jim Lagopoulos
from Brain and Mind Research Institute will be the main customer who will use
the system to upload/download images and records, query images and records, pre
– process images, link records, manage permissions, advertise
publications. The automated system will
save the professor tones of valuable time and simplify the process to share,
manage and analyse research records.
In the system the user groups will be divided into two major parts,
one uses the system and another manages the system. Therefore one of our key
customer groups are BMRI researchers (including students) and another key user
group are admin users who look after the access and metadata in the system.
This project will result in human brain scan data (structural and
functional) and numerous associated Neuropsychological and Electrophysiological tests being integrated
to produce an analysis resource that will help in the study of brain function /
human behaviour and advance research that allows improved diagnosis and
treatment of diseases. It will be
relevant to a range of government portfolios, including Health and Ageing
and Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.
