MIRC (Medical Imaging Resource Center) or TFS (Teaching File System) is a component of RSNA's CTP (Clinical Trials Processor), a suite of tools developed by RSNA to optimize research in radiology mainly with emphasis on workflow and security of patient information. It is offered free of charge by RSNA. Simply put, MIRC can be used to build a radiology teaching file, be it for an individual of for an institution with many simultaneous users. Development started in 2000 and the project has been kept alive along the years, funded by RSNA, also with great support from the community of users. Installation is very streamlined and available for virtually all plataforms and operational systems. All files necessary for installation are available at the download session of RSNA's own MIRC server (http://mirc.rsna.org). This course is aimed to cover basic authoring tools and some advanced functions. After finishing this course the attendee will be proficient in authoring and uploading cases, and also be familiar with the resources for installation and administration of MIRC.
