LORIS Neuroimaging Data Platform on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

LORIS (Longitudinal Online Research and Imaging System) is an open-source, web-based data-management platform for neuroimaging and clinical research studies, developed by the McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience at the Montreal Neurological Institute and used by research groups worldwide to run large multi-site longitudinal studies. It gives a study a single system for organising participants, visits, behavioural and clinical instruments, imaging data and derived measures, with user accounts, roles and fine-grained permissions, a configurable study structure, a self-service data query and download tool, and an administration surface a study coordinator can run without editing files.

This image ships the complete LORIS web platform assembled and hardened on a LAMP stack (Apache 2.4, PHP 8.4, MariaDB), with the React front end compiled to production bundles and the full database schema ready, so a working LORIS instance answers requests within minutes of launch instead of after a day of manual setup, a Composer install, a webpack build and a schema import.

Common uses

• Run a multi-site longitudinal neuroimaging or clinical research study with candidates, visits, instruments and imaging data in one system
• Give a research team scoped access with roles and fine-grained, per-module permissions
• Let researchers build, save and export data queries across the study with the self-service data query tool
• Stand up a hardened LORIS instance in minutes and add the optional imaging pipeline on a larger dedicated instance later
