Getting Started
Getting Started with XNAT
If this is your first time using XNAT, here is a short outline of things you'll need to do!
1. Create an account using your Brown Credentials
Accessing XNAT2. Work with the MRF on your scan protocol and choosing a project name
We will match the naming of your scan protocol and your XNAT project so that your data automatically ends up in the right place after your scan
If you will be using our XNAT to BIDS conversion tools, your sequences on the scanner should be named in a "BIDS Ready" format. The BNC is happy to work with you to figure out the appropriate naming for your sequences.
3. Contact us to request a new XNAT project

At the scanner, once your scan is complete, export your data to XNAT.
Uploading DataIf you are collecting multi-session data, follow these instructions to add a session label to your subject ID. This will allow XNAT to organize your data properly and avoid conflicts.
4. Check that ALL your data has been received and it is complete
Try your best to check the integrity of your data within a day. While it may take an hour or so for your data to appear on XNAT, it should not take longer than half a day. If you have not received your data, or anything looks strange, contact us!
