XIP is an easily extensible open source platform that facilitates easier access to specific post-processing applications at multiple sites. XIP allows cancer researchers to easily create complex data analysis programs (e.g. lesion change detection) targeted at specific investigations. Employing the DICOM WG-23 Application Hosting interfaces, XIP Applications can be distributed to a variety of installations, thus providing some consistency in data collection for clinical trials. The XIP tools can be employed to create many other types of applications.
