Machine Learning to Advance Research

DRANK

Dec.16,2018Ambra Health’s www.ambriscloud.com archive provides instant access to secondary versions of medical images and priors of primary data when available to the cloud-based medical image management suite.In order for researchers to use MRI, CT, or PET scans for machine learning experiments, researchers typically must remove Protected Health Information (PHI) from medical imaging data, including the patient’s name and date of birth in Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) tags.Google Cloud’s Healthcare API and the Ambra Health Cloud PACS solution for Google Cloud allows researchers to turn data into insights by easily de-identifying patient medical imaging data for use in research studies.A major academic medical center is among the first institutions to leverage the shared capability. The center wanted to use a more secure method to view medical imaging data and wanted to collaborate with fellow researchers during the development of machine learning tools to…
