Medical Image De-Identification Benchmark (MIDI-B) Challenge

David Kennedy — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 3:16:55 GMT

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is excited to announce the launch of the Medical Image De-Identification Benchmark (MIDI-B) Challenge (https://www.synapse.org/Synapse:syn53065760/wiki/625274) with the goal of assessing rule-based DICOM de-identification (deID) algorithms using a large and diverse set of standardized clinical images with synthetic identifiers. Automated image de-identification methods that reserve the research utility of the data are desirable.

To learn more, please visit the website: MIDI-B De-identification - syn53065760 - Wiki (synapse.org). (https://www.synapse.org/Synapse:syn53065760/wiki/627881)

Participation by teams from industry and academia is encouraged. Please forward this information to interested colleagues.

XNAT Central Migration to NITRC-IR

NITRC Moderator — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 1:38:17 GMT

XNAT Central, a long-standing data sharing platform, has reached its end of life. As a result, NITRC-IR has adopted major projects from XNAT Central. Two exemplary high-profile datasets migrating are:

Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS)

This multimodal dataset from the Knight ADRC at Washington University includes cross-sectional and longitudinal neuroimaging, clinical, cognitive, and biomarker data for normal aging and Alzheimer's disease. It includes data for OASIS-Cross-sectional and OASIS-Longitudinal studies. It has been widely used for analyses, atlas development, and segmentation algorithms.

Northwestern University Schizophrenia Data and Software Tool (NUSDAST)

NUSDAST is an NIH-funded data sharing project to stimulate new research in schizophrenia that contains neuroimaging, cognitive, clinical, and genetic data from over 450 subjects with schizophrenia, most with 2-year longitudinal follow-up.

Find these and other datasets at https://www.nitrc.org/ir/
