The EUCAIM consortium and the European Commission are excited to announce the first public release of its platform, Cancer Image Europe, marking a major milestone in the project’s development and an exciting step towards achieving its vision and goals. The first platform release brings benefits to researchers, clinicians and AI innovators across Europe and paves the way for the future of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Key features and highlights of EUCAIM's first platform release include:
•A public catalogue of cancer imaging datasets from the repositories of the EU-funded AI for Health Imaging projects, following a common metadata schema.
•A federated searching tool to understand the information available in the federated providers.
•Full integration with the Life Science Login Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure.
•Reusing and adding value to key components of EU-funded research projects and infrastructure in the field of cancer.
By releasing the first version of Cancer Image Europe, sharing of cancer images and supporting clinical data is facilitated and collaboration between researchers, clinicians and AI innovators across Europe is stimulated. The platform aims to accelerate the pace of AI development and other data-intensive cancer research activities, thereby enabling and empowering scientific breakthroughs that will shape the future of cancer diagnosis and treatment. The project’s goals and vision contribute to the strategic objectives of the European Union's initiatives and foster innovation and research.
Euro-BioImaging ERIC is pleased to participate in this project alongside several Med Nodes, DIMP Neuromed and Portuguese Brain Imaging Network Node (University of Coimbra), as well as the Population Imaging Flagship Node Rotterdam (ERASMUS MC) and IRCSS SDN, part of the MMMI Italian Node.
