Context

 As part of a RHU (5-year university hospital research) program with the Nantes University Hospital: RHU eCAN

Coordinated by the Nantes University Hospital, the eCAN University Hospital Research project (RHU eCAN) aims to reduce the overall impact of intracranial aneurysms by creating health tools dedicated to radiologists, patients, experts in charge of these patients, and regulatory authorities. The ambition of the eCAN project is to change the trajectory of patients with intracranial aneurysms and improve its medico-economic impact in the various health systems.

The objective is to operate and develop on a dedicated cloud infrastructure (Shanoir+VIP) for the storage and processing of medical images.

Shanoir (SHAring iN vivO Imaging Resources) is a web platform that allows the sharing of in-vivo medical images, with their metadata, for clinical and preclinical research. The origin of the software is neuroimaging, but the platform is now perfectly usable for all types of organs and pathologies. Shanoir allows the import of "raw" data from different acquisition methods: DICOM (MR, CT, PT, NM), Bruker (preclinical), EEG (EDF + BrainVision) and "processed" data: NIfTI. Shanoir-NG is a "cloud native" web application developed with Angular, Spring Boot 3 and Docker.

VIP is a web platform for image processing. In collaboration with the VIP team (Creatis, CNRS, Lyon), Shanoir and VIP are used to store and process images in pairs.

Assignment

Missions: With the help of the team of Shanoir developers, the recruited person will be required to carry out mass processing and develop in Shanoir.

Main activities

Main software development activities:

  • Gain an understanding of Shanoir, its code structure and data model
  • Perform various bulk processing on data in Shanoir within VIP
    • Run bulk execution scripts in Python and monitor/debug them,
      based on Shanoir REST interface and existing scripts
    • Help integrate Docker images into VIP
    • Develop integration of various inputs and outputs of processing pipelines
    • Aggregate processing results according to scientific needs
  • Work on interoperability with cleanWeb, eCRF
  • Implementation, testing and deployment in production
    • Our production server is available at https://shanoir.irisa.fr
    • The goal is to deploy in production the developed extensions,
      to share data beyond FLI-IAM (see in "broader context")

Additional activities:

  • Test, modify until validating new features
  • Write documentation on GitHub
  • Participate in Shanoir's roadmap
  • Based on experience
