Retrieving MRI Data with Osirix

Information is out of date

Osirix is the website/program that we currently use to download MRI data and to store it on the server.

• When a scan finishes, ask the tech to send the data to the “research” server
• Check the next day, or in a couple of hours on the osirix website to see if the scan is there:
  • https://mini2.mclean.harvard.edu:3333/
  • Username: latn
  • Click “study list”
  • You can download the file as a whole (works for shorter scans without multiband) by clicking the arrow next to the name
  • Larger scans may need to be downloaded scan by scan. To do this click the subject’s name, and click the arrow next to each file
  • Store the downloaded scans on the server and burn to a DVD
