Clinical Imaging and Trials

Data Standardization and Acquisition

A clinical trial is being conducted for a new drug. An imaging CRO is contracted to oversee the process. They receive images from multiple sites.

Blinded Reads

After the collection of study data is finished the CRO pulls the images from the repository. A semi-automated software tool is used to segment a region of interest on the images.

Image Retrieval using Meta Data

A researcher has developed a new algorithm for segmenting brain tissue. The researcher wants to search the repository for brain scans with particular acquisition parameters.

FDA Access for Review

FDA requests to see images during the submission process. The requested images are pulled from the Core-Lab-in-a-Box repository for FDA review. Alternatively,

External Collaboration

An additional read is needed for evaluating the study data. A set of images needs to be made available for an offsite radiologist to conduct a blinded review.

Data Access

A particular study is being conducted out of a sponsor central facility. The project team needs to have quick access to the image data in order to monitor the study.

Data Storage and Migration

In the event of an acquisition, divestiture or in-licensing agreement, it is imperative that both legacy and new image data can be stored & migrated effectively and accessed globally.
