Clinical Trials

Connect trial imaging.Keep the context.

Bring imaging from participating sites into a connected research pathway. Pukka-j helps shape the movement, preparation and access of DICOM data around the needs of your clinical trial.

A connected imaging pathway

Make every imaging hand-off count.

A trial can span different scanners, local systems and organisations. Nexus provides an orchestration layer for retrieving, transforming, anonymising and routing imaging data between those environments.

Connect participating sites

Map the source systems and transfer routes, then agree how images and supporting context reach the trial destination.

Prepare data for research

Shape metadata transformation and de-identification around an agreed trial policy, preserving the relationships and acquisition information needed for interpretation.

Coordinate the destination

Route prepared studies to an agreed archive, imaging core laboratory or analysis platform. Nexus PACS can form the cloud imaging layer, with Nexus IS considered where information and workflow coordination are required.

Resolve exceptions

Define how incomplete submissions, identity mismatches and transfer failures are identified, investigated and reconciled with participating sites.

Designed around the protocol

The details behind dependable trial imaging.

Multi-site image collection

Plan a consistent route from participating hospitals, PACS and imaging centres into the trial environment. Agree submission methods, supported modalities and receipt checks before sites begin sending data.

Trial identity and timepoints

Map imaging to the agreed trial, site, participant and visit identifiers. Keep baseline and follow-up studies connected without exposing clinical identifiers to research users.

DICOM de-identification

Define which attributes to remove, replace or retain, including private tags, dates and referenced identifiers. Assess burned-in annotations and recognisable visual features separately from metadata.

Completeness and quality checks

Agree checks for expected studies, series, acquisition metadata and duplicate submissions. Make missing data and exceptions visible so sites can resolve them before review.

Review and analysis pathways

Define who needs access to which images, prior timepoints and outputs. Confirm blinding, reader assignment, measurement tools and specialist analysis requirements for the chosen review environment.

Traceability and retention

Specify the records needed for receipt, transformation, transfer and access, alongside retention periods, regional hosting and controlled export at study close.

From acquisition to access

Collect. Prepare. Check. Share.

Collect

Receive imaging and agreed trial context from participating sites.

Prepare

Apply the agreed identifier mapping and de-identification policy.

Check

Reconcile submissions and route exceptions for resolution.

Deliver images to authorised research, review and analysis destinations.

Plan the controls

Consistent imaging. Confident research.

Keep your trial moving with a connected imaging pathway from participating sites to research review. Bring studies together with consistent participant and timepoint identifiers, agreed quality checks and clear handling of missing or incomplete submissions, so research teams can focus on the images that matter.

Protect participant privacy while preserving the imaging context needed for meaningful analysis. Build de-identification, controlled access and traceable data movement into the trial pathway, with checks for identifying information in both DICOM metadata and image pixels. Agree the controls and validation evidence around your protocol and chosen review systems.
