In order to enable multiple disciplines of medical researchers, clinical physicians and biomedical engineers working together in a secured, efficient, and transparent cooperative environment, we had designed an e-Science platform for biomedical imaging research and application cross multiple academic institutions and hospitals in Shanghai and presented this work in SPIE Medical Imaging conference held in San Diego in 2012. In past the two-years, we implemented a biomedical image chain including communication, storage, cooperation and computing based on this e-Science platform. In this presentation, we presented the operating status of this system in supporting biomedical imaging research, analyzed and discussed results of this system in supporting multi-disciplines collaboration cross-multiple institutions.
One key problem for continuity of patient care is identification of a proper method to share and exchange patient medical records among multiple hospitals and healthcare providers. This paper focuses in the imaging document component of medical record. The XDS-I (Cross- Enterprise Document Sharing – Image) Profile based on the IHE IT-Infrastructure extends and specializes XDS to support imaging “document” sharing in an affinity domain. We present three studies about image sharing solutions based on IHE XDS-I Profile. The first one is to adopt the IHE XDS-I profile as a technical guide to design image and report sharing mechanisms between hospitals for regional healthcare service in Shanghai. The second study is for collaborating image diagnosis in regional healthcare services. The latter study is to investigate the XDS-I based clearinghouse for patient controlled image sharing in the RSNA Image Sharing Network Project. We conclude that the IHE XDS/XDS-I profiles can be used as the foundation to design medical image document sharing for Various Healthcare Services.

As there are urgent demands to bring medical imaging research and clinical service together more closely to solve the problems related to disease discover and medical research, a new imaging informatics infrastructure need to be developed to promote multiple disciplines of medical researchers and clinical physicians working together in a secured and efficient cooperative environment. In this presentation, we outline our work of building Biomedical Imaging Informatics “e-Science” platform integrated with high performance image sharing, collaborating and computing to support multi-disciplines translational biomedical imaging research in multiple affiliated hospitals and academic institutions in Shanghai.
In order to enable multiple disciplines of medical researchers, clinical physicians and biomedical engineers working together in a secured, efficient, and transparent cooperative environment, we had designed an e-Science platform for biomedical imaging research and application cross multiple academic institutions and hospitals in Shanghai by using grid-based or cloud-based distributed architecture and presented this work in SPIE Medical Imaging conference held in San Diego in 2012. However, when the platform integrates more and more nodes over different networks, the first challenge is that how to monitor and maintain all the hosts and services operating cross multiple academic institutions and hospitals in the e-Science platform, such as DICOM and Web based image communication services, messaging services and XDS ITI transaction services. In this presentation, we presented a system design and implementation of intelligent monitoring and management which can collect system resource status of every node in real time, alert when node or service failure occurs, and can finally improve the robustness, reliability and service continuity of this e-Science platform.

More and more image informatics researchers and engineers are considering to re-construct imaging and informatics
infrastructure or to build new framework to enable multiple disciplines of medical researchers, clinical physicians
and biomedical engineers working together in a secured, efficient, and transparent cooperative environment. In this
presentation, we show an outline and our preliminary design work of building an e-Science platform for biomedical
imaging and informatics research and application in Shanghai. We will present our consideration and strategy on
designing this platform, and preliminary results. We also will discuss some challenges and solutions in building this
platform.

In designing of e-Science platform for biomedical imaging research and application cross multiple academic institutions
and hospitals, it needs to find out the best communication protocol to transmit various kinds of biomedical images
acquired from Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Source (SSRS), micro-PET, Micro-CT which includes both types of
DICOM and non-DICOM images. In this presentation, we presented several image communication scenarios required in
e-Science platform and several possible image communication protocols, and then tested and evaluated the performance
of these image communication protocols in e-Science data flows to find out which protocol is the best candidate to be
used in e-Science platform for the purpose for security, communication performance, easy implementation and
management.
