dax 2.5.3

Distributed Automation for XNAT

DAX, is a python package developed at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA. It’s available on github at: https://github.com/VUIIS/dax.

XNAT provides a flexible imaging informatics software platform to organize and manage imaging data.

DAX, an open-source initiative under the umbrella of Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science (VUIIS), is a Python project that provides a uniform interface to run pipelines on a cluster by grabbing data from a XNAT database via RESTApi Calls.

DAX allows you to:

• extract information from XNAT via scripts (bin/Xnat_tools/Xnat…)

• create pipelines (spiders/processors) to run pipelines on your data

• build a project on XNAT with pipelines (assessors)

• launch pipelines on your cluster and upload results back to xnat

• interact with XNAT via python using commands in XnatUtils.
