About XNAT Tools

XNAT Plugins

XNAT Plugins can be downloaded at www.xnat.org/download

See Deploying Plugins in XNAT for general setup instructions. Note that plugins often have version dependencies with XNAT, and/or with each other.

Container Service Plugin 

Authors: XNAT Team / CIRC - John Flavin, Matt Kelsey, Kate Alpert

The Container Service plugin enables you to load Docker Images into a processing environment connected to your XNAT and run containerized processes from mounted XNAT archive data. These containers can be run from the XNAT UI, singly or in bulk.

XNAT ML Plugins

Author: XNAT Team / CIRC – Rick Herrick, Matt Kelsey, Will Horton

The XNAT ML suite of plugins enables the collection of project data into training datasets, then allows you to upload and configure a model to train on that data. This set of plugins was based on the constructs of the NVIDIA Clara 2.0 set of models and training, which is now deprecated.

Legacy Image Viewer

Author: CIRC

The legacy XIMGView Image Viewer is built in HTML5 and shipped as the default viewer in XNAT for versions 1.6.4 – 1.7.6. This viewer has been largely supplanted by the XNAT-OHIF Viewer Plugin. However, it offers support for viewing NIFTI images and can be installed side-by-side with the XNAT OHIF Viewer.

Legacy XNAT Applications and Tools

These open-source applications no longer receive updates, and may be limited in functionality, but may still be useful to the XNAT community.

Arc-Sync

Author: NRG - Kevin Archie

 Arc-sync is a Python script that uses the XNAT REST API to make a local copy of session data in a named project. It works with Python 2.x (preferably 2.7) but not Python 3.x.
