The Washington University Central Neuroimaging Data Archive

- Central Neuroimaging Data Archive houses Washington University's research imaging.
- Initiated in 2002, CNDA served as the original codebase for the XNAT platform.
- CNDA holds over 1000 research studies, 36,000 subjects and 60,000 image sessions.
- CNDA stores MR, PET, and CT scans, clinical, behavioral and tissue-derived data.
- Alzheimer's, cancer, HIV, sickle cell anemia, and Tourette's data can be requested.

Since the early 2000's, much of the neuroimaging work at Washington University (WU) has been facilitated by the Central Neuroimaging Data Archive (CNDA), an XNAT-based imaging informatics system. The CNDA is uniquely related to XNAT, as it served as the original codebase for the XNAT open source platform. The CNDA hosts data acquired in over 1000 research studies, encompassing 36,000 subjects and more than 60,000 imaging sessions. Most imaging modalities used in modern human research are represented in the CNDA, including magnetic resonance (MR), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine (NM), computed radiography (CR), digital radiography (DX), and ultrasound (US). However, the majority of the imaging data in the CNDA are MR and PET of the human brain. Currently, about 20% of the total imaging data in the CNDA is available by request to external researchers. CNDA's available data includes large sets of imaging sessions and in some cases clinical, psychometric, tissue, or genetic data acquired in the study of Alzheimer's disease, brain metabolism, cancer, HIV, sickle cell anemia, and Tourette syndrome.
