An open platform platform for cancer research.
The eXtensible Imaging Platform (XIP) is an open source environment for rapidly developing medical imaging applications from an extensible set of modular elements.
Researchers will be able to easily develop and evaluate new approaches to medical imaging problems, and use them in a translational research setting.
caGrid makes it possible to develop an XIP architecture that allows users to choose between remotely hosted grid based components and data sources as well as locally available sources.
See the XIP poster from MCIM 2007 on the posters page for more information.
XIP is a development project sponsored by the In Vivo Imaging (IMAG) Workspace, part of the National Cancer Institute's initiative to link members of the cancer community, know as caBIG.
