Installing the required software

Note: If you have an old version of ClearCanvas, uninstall it from your computer and reboot before beginning these steps

  1. Download ClearCanvas w/ AIM at: http://gforge.nci.nih.gov/frs/download.php/9541/AIM_WS_3.0.4.rar
  2. Extract the .RAR file (If you don't have software for unzipping .RAR files you can install 7zip for free)
  3. Once extracted, run the "TCGAClearCanvasSetup_x86.msi", hit "next" several times until completion
  4. Restart your computer
  5. Verify the installation was successful by taking these steps:
    1. Go the the Start Menu and/or desktop icon and start ClearCanvas
    2. Enter your login information (see "ClearCanvas sign-on" table below for your user name)
    3. Click on the "My computer" tab near the top left corner of the program
    4. Browse to where you've downloaded your DICOM data from TCIA
    5. Right click the folder which holds the data and choose either "Open" or "Import"
      1. "open" will just load the data one time
      2. "import" will store the study under the "DICOM" tab so that you don't have to repeat these steps again later (they will now show up in the "My studies" window under the DICOM tab)

Testing the AIM Template

  1. Download the AIM template
    1. Round 1: tcga-renal-aim-05-14-12-v1.xml (Right click and choose "Save as" or else it may just display the XML file in your browser)
  2. Run ClearCanvas and load a test case
    1. Double click the ClearCanvas icon on your desktop or open it from your Start menu
    2. Enter your login information (see "ClearCanvas sign-on" table below for your user name) if you haven't already
    3. Verify your AIM settings
      1. From the menus at the top, choose Tools > Options
      2. Verify that the following 3 check boxes are checked (Send New Annotations to caGrid, Store New Annotations Locally, Require User Information) and that Require Graphic Markup in Annotation is not checked.
    4. Set up the AIM Data Service
      1. From the menus at the top, choose Tools > caGrid Tools > AIM Data Service Settings
      2. Enter this URL in the box that appears: TBD - coming soon (if you want to test the process before you review the real data change 9090 to 8080 in this URL)
    5. Click on the "My computer" tab near the top left corner of the program
    6. Browse to where you've downloaded your DICOM data
    7. Right click the folder which holds the data and choose either "Open" or "Import"
      1. "open" will just load the data one time
      2. "import" will store the study under the "DICOM" tab so that you don't have to repeat these steps again later (they will now show up in the "My studies" window under the DICOM tab)
    8. Open a study
    9. Click the "AIM Annotation" button – note there are several buttons that mention AIM, you want the one that just says "AIM" in the icon.
    10. Now click the AIM Template button in the new side bar that appeared, and point it to the XML file you downloaded in step 3 (you only have to do this once, and it will automatically use this template on all cases from now on unless you choose a new one)
  3. Begin reading cases assigned to you (see table below)
    1. For each case use the appropriate form to score metastatic features (METASTASIS - once per case), mass features (MASS - once per mass identified), and enhancement features (ENHANCEMENT - once per enhancement phase per anatomic entity)
      1. For the markup associated with the forms you must also submit a measurement with the Ruler or Elliptical tool.  (indicated on the form)
        1. You can tell the markup went through with your other answers if the measurement updates with a label including a date/time stamp, e.g. "BreastDx-01-0065_user1_2012-03-21 12:09 PM". If the measurement did not go through it will only show the length without this other information.
        2. To ensure the markup is submitted successfully make sure that the series where you drew the markup is active on your screen before pressing the "Create Annotation" button to send your scores.
    2. Please notify John/Justin when you are done scoring your first case so we can verify your results were properly received before you put time into additional cases.
    3. If you plan to be a reader and have not had any cases assigned to you please contact Justin (kirbyju @ mail dot nih dot gov)
