The attendee will:
• Learn the features of the RSNA’s MIRC software that support clinical trials and research dataset acquisition.
• Learn how to download and configure the RSNA’s MIRC software.
• Learn to use the MIRC Wiki to access MIRC documentation.
• Learn how to implement anonymization requirements for acquired data.
• Learn how to use the software to manage multi-center clinical trials.

Multi-center clinical imaging trials are now very common. The RSNA’s Medical Imaging Resource Center (MIRC) project has developed software to make it easy to install and run a system that provides acquisition of images and data objects at field imaging centers, anonymization and remapping of protected health information (PHI), transmission to principal investigator sites, storage and management of the data, and forwarding of it to analytical systems, including workstations, PACS, and databases. The system has also been used within research institutions to solve networking, security, and access logging problems. This course will teach participants how to configure this software to support clinical trials and research dataset acquisition.
