The Multi-modal Australian ScienceS Imaging and Visualization Environment (MASSIVE) is a national imaging and visualization facility established by Monash University, the Australian Synchrotron, the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), and the Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing (VPAC), with funding from the National Computational Infrastructure and the Victorian Government. The MASSIVE facility provides hardware, software, and expertise to drive research in the biomedical sciences, particularly advanced brain imaging research using synchrotron x-ray and infrared imaging, functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-ray computer tomography (CT), electron microscopy and optical microscopy. The development of MASSIVE has been based on best practice in system integration methodologies, frameworks, and architectures. The facility has: (i) integrated multiple different neuroimaging analysis software components, (ii) enabled cross-platform and cross-modality integration of neuroinformatics tools, and (iii) brought together neuroimaging databases and analysis workflows. MASSIVE is now operational as a nationally distributed and integrated facility for neuroinfomatics and brain imaging research.
多模态澳大利亚科学成像和可视化环境（MASSIVE）是由莫纳什大学、澳大利亚同步加速器、联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）和维多利亚州高级计算合作伙伴关系（VPAC）建立的国家成像和可视化设施，由国家计算基础设施和维多利亚州政府提供资金。MASSIVE 设施提供硬件、软件和专业知识，以推动生物医学科学的研究，特别是利用同步加速器 X 射线和红外成像、功能和结构磁共振成像（MRI）、X 射线计算机断层扫描（CT）、电子显微镜和光学显微镜进行先进的大脑成像研究。MASSIVE 的开发基于系统集成方法、框架和架构的最佳实践。该设施：（i）集成了多个不同的神经成像分析软件组件，（ii）实现了神经信息学工具的跨平台和跨模态集成，（iii）汇集了神经成像数据库和分析工作流程。MASSIVE 现在作为一个全国分布式和集成的神经信息学和大脑成像研究设施运行。
