CVRG Projects

As the CVRG itself is composed of development teams at several institutions, the Project as a whole has been divided into 6 sub-projects. The first two projects focus on cardiovascular imaging and analysis. The third project focuses on the storage and analysis of electrocardiograms (ECGs). The fourth project focuses on clinical data management and analysis. The fifth project applies high-performance computing methods to the data transfer and analysis methods of the previous four projects. The sixth project reaches out to the cardiovascular community as a whole, transforming input from the community on the CVRG tools into paths for future development.

Collaborative Technology Projects

One of the key guiding principles of the CVRG is that we don’t “re-invent the wheel”. We re-use and extend software from other grid projects whenever possible, focusing on development of CV-specific resources. To do this, we have formed Collaborating Technology Projects (CTPs) focused on joint, mutually beneficial technology development with the CVRG team. There are currently six CTPs. The rapid addition of new CTPs demonstrates that we are well integrated into the technology development community, and that we are leveraging these collaborations so that technology development extends far beyond the initial CVRG team.

Driving Biomedical Projects

The software development phase of projects such as the CVRG must be closely linked with specific, underlying driving biomedical projects (DBPs) to assure that resource development is driven by real-world needs prior to software release to the general community. There are currently eight DBPs for the CVRG, listed below. These DBPs provide a rich set of use cases that drive CVRG technology development. The tools are fed back to the DBPs and an iterative process of technology development, feedback, and refinement is established.
