Medical Grid: Using Grid Technology for Brain Studies
Epifanio Bagarinao, Toshiharu Nakai, Yoshio Tanaka · Philippine Information Technology Journal · 2008
The Medical Grid (MedGrid) Project was initiated in 2004 to study and demonstrate the use of grid technology in medical applications, in particular, in the management and analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets. For this, the MedGrid testbed was formed to provide a platform for the study and to demonstrate the feasibility of the idea. In this paper, we summarize the progress we’ve made in the last four years in implementing a grid-based fMRI data management and analysis framework within the MedGrid testbed.
