The LORIS Imaging working group is made up of special people, they all have a passion (at least an interest) for image processing. They get together once every two weeks to review and discuss the pull request made to the repository. They also weigh in and discuss of the direction and plans for the evolution of the imaging pipeline.

Most of the imaging pipeline is written in Perl and deals primarily with dicom MRI scans and conversion to the minc image format.

I'm particularly proud of PR#155, a new tool I created to help locate the database file id and its status based on a unique identifier called the seriesUID. It was previously very hard and time consuming to figure if a file was inserted, and if not, why! You may also notice on my presentation slide there is some serious bash script foo to get the data to my utility script.

1. remove minc, add a minc based on SeriesUID Add to release notes
2. new converter can use dcm2mnc command structure
3. allow the insertion of violated scans
4. Move minc pics creation to MRI.pm
5. Command Line Tool to obtain FileID of inserted mincs using a lists of SeriesUID as STDIN
6. Allows Dicom PatientName to have extra text after the visit label
7. better error messages to help find why scans do not go in
8. make sure the session is active
9. submodule update
10. set caveat if acquisitionProtocol is overridden, undef seriesuid
11. Script to remove mnc file based on a query
12. [ImagingUpload.pm] Look inside file type and not file path for the word dicom

This repository works in close coorditation with the LORIS repos for releases and features.

Fell free to take a look at my previous contributions to that repos as well.

I'm super exited about Utopian.io and the opportunities it is opening for open source and developers. (Just to name a few).

I am Utopian!

(and I've made a t-shirt to show it off... coming soon)
