Reception, digital and automatic transfer, and storage of medical images in DICOM (Digital Imaging Communication in Medicine) format
Areas of expertise
A computer science infrastructure that receives multimodal medical images (MRI, IVUS, PET/CT, CT, echography, etc.) in DICOM format from anywhere in the world that are de-identified at their original sites. The images received are stored to create high-value information assets for medical research. They are also transferred automatically to the institution responsible for analysing them for research purposes.
