This software is a DataLad extension that equips DataLad with a set of commands to track XNAT projects.
XNAT is an open source imaging informatics platform developed by the Neuroinformatics Research Group at Washington University. It facilitates common management, productivity, and quality assurance tasks for imaging and associated data. XNAT can be used to support a wide range of neuro/medical imaging-based projects.
Command(s) provided by this extension
xnat-init-- Initialize an existing dataset to track an XNAT projectxnat-update-- Update an existing dataset of an XNAT project; retrieve data from the tracked projectxnat-query-files-- Query available files on an XNAT instance or project
