XNAT is an open-source data platform for management and quality assurance tasks of imaging and associated data (xnat.org).

The Australian Characterisation Commons at Scale (ACCS) and the Australian Imaging Service (AIS) projects have leveraged this tool to manage organisational and Australian multi-site data collections.

XNAT is one of the most popular tools for managing Neuroimaging data collections. It facilitates common management, productivity, and quality assurance tasks for imaging and associated data. Thanks to its extensibility, XNAT can be used to support a wide range of imaging-based projects.

This webinar covered how to:

  • Sign up for XNAT and support information

  • Manage users and collaborators

  • Upload and download data

  • Access data and use the OHIF viewer

  • Modify projects, subjects, sessions, and scans
