The XNAT ML release is a stand-alone package that combines XNAT 1.8 with several platform and plugin additions to enable a baseline of Machine Learning capability. These capabilities were first demonstrated in collaboration with the NVIDIA Clara suite of medical imaging AI tools, at RSNA 2019. Since then, we have been expanding functionality, deepening integrations, and hardening features to get to the point of this release.
