Synopsis
Systex is developing software that is compatible with flow cytometry data files and design, produce and implementing software for flow cytometry data analysis specifically to cluster analysis software. The NCI contract focuses on programming, training and integration using the following operating systems, architectures and interfaces, DEC Open VMS, MAC OS, Windows, Linux, X-Windows DECWindows .
The NCI contract also involves the following programming languages and protocols: HP-GL, JAVA GKS, PERL, PostScript, FORTRAN, PASCAL, Visual Basic, DCL Command Language DEC Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) System, PV-WAVE, DECNET, TCP-IP and APPLESHARE.
Systex was awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the NCI for the development of a portable computer-based patient record. Systex designed the system and developed a working prototype that would effect the transportation of individual patient lifetime medical records including medical images while using compact portable computer media.

Synopsis
Systex, Inc. has been an on site IT support contractor for the NIAID since 1986.
The CRIMSON system was developed by Systex, in conjunction with the NIAID, to support the documentation and data management requirements of the NIAID Intramural Clinical Research Program. The CRIMSON system was originally developed to manage the 500+ study patient visits per month at the NIAID HIV Clinic in the NIH Clinical Center, Bethesda, MD. The goal of the system was to allow the collection of the Clinical Research data directly into a database at the time of the visit, by the Nurse Case manager and Clinic Physician. The staff can then generate the patient's Progress Note from the system and place the signed note into the patient's chart. Standard and custom reporting, as well as ad-hoc query capability, ensure support for clinical, research, and monitoring efforts. The system manages 250+ clinical research protocols with over 12,000 study patients. The staff consists of 9 software developers, two nurse trainers, a nurse documentarian, a technical writer, and a technical help desk staff. Systex has also developed the CRIMSON Medical/Clinical Information system for the NIAID. This client server information system collects, organizes, processes, displays and stores clinical research study data. CRIMSON allows for the tracking of patient data in clinical trials.

Synopsis
Systex has also developed the MIRAGE (Medical Imaging Retrieval, Analysis and Graphics) system. The MIRAGE system allows analysis of digital biomedical images and generation of computational results. Functions of the system include display operations, region of interest operations, annotations, image manipulation and analysis functions like slicing. The system interfaces and converts image data from several nuclear medicine sources, such as MRI, CAT, PET and NMR scanners, to the MIRAGE format.
Other Systex experience at NIH includes system design, development, maintenance, technical support and help desk. Other Systex efforts involved DataMart development, GUI development, PowerBuilder, PowerDesigner, Sybase/Sun ServerACIUS 4th Dimension and ERWIN development tools.
