About FITBIR

The Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR) informatics system was developed to share data across the entire Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) research field and to facilitate collaboration between laboratories, as well as inter connectivity with other informatics platforms. This community-wide sharing requires using common data definitions and standards, as well as comprehensive and coherent informatics approaches.

To learn more about FITBIR, please refer to the FITBIR Frequently Asked Questions page.

About MIPAV Imaging tool

One can upload unprocessed brain images in DICOM format to FITBIR. FITBIR also supports processed images in a variety of formats including DICOM, MINC 1.0 and 2.0, Analyze, NIfTI-1, AFNI and SPM. If you are using a different file format, please contact FITBIR-help@mail.nih.gov to allow us add it to our list of supported standards.

To submit imaging data to FITBIR, researchers are required to run a component of the MIPAV (Medical Image Processing, Analysis, and Visualization) application. Using the MIPAV Component for FITBIR, you can quickly prepare your image data for submission by following the steps below.

   Place each of your images into a common directory accessible by your computer.
   Select the link: http://mipav.cit.nih.gov/fitbir_jws/mipav_fitbir_prod_jws.php. This link will launch a java web start application. A recent version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is needed to run the application.
   Add Files to the program.
   Enter appropriate metadata. Age in months, date of interview, extent, GUID, Dimensions, and site subject ID are all required. You may need to scroll down to access all required fields.
   Add or Remove files, select the output directory, and select finish when all files have the meta data items completed.
   Select Finish, which will generate all the files necessary for validation
       The compressed image
       A JPG that can be used as a thumbnail to preview the image in the FITBIR query tool
       A CSV of the meta-data from the image. The data matches a form structure that is queryable in FITBIR's query tool.
   Validate the files in the FITBIR Validation Tool.
