Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are that nifty sections of our projects where we will find answers to recurring the project questions. For our BreastScreening (FAQ), MIDA (FAQ) and MIMBCD-UI (FAQ) projects, they guide us to perform common actions, such as typical configurations or fixing some issues. Please, follow the respective FAQ for each project, as it may have different Questions/Answers.

Index

Project

The purpose of this section is to provide answers regarding several aspects of the MIMBCD-UI project. A project that is highly contribution for both BreastScreening and MIDA projects. The project is part of the work done between SIPg, an ISR-Lisboa group, INESC-ID and ITI. ISR-Lisboa and INESC-ID are both Associate Laboratories from IST at ULisboa. ISR-Lisboa and ITI are both R&D Units of LARSyS.

Medical Imaging

Below, we will find answers to all of your Medical Imaging (MI) questions. Bookmark this page and check back often, as it is updated with new questions.

What should I know about Medical Imaging (MI) before we start?

In short, Medical Imaging (MI) is a vast and complex area, with a bunch of information. In the MIMBCD-UI project we just approach the breast cancer domain, therefore we will just focus on MI for a breast cancer perspective. On the BreastScreening project FAQ page we address this topic. Please be free to follow your questions/answers there regarding the MI issues.

What tools are we using to interact with our Medical Imaging (MI) projects?

For the project purpose, we are using both CornerstoneJS and Orthanc to support our MI interactions. On one hand, CornerstoneJS provides an easy way to build interactive MI web applications. On the other hand, Orthanc in an Open Source, lightweight DICOM server for MI technologies.

Who are our competitors?

Several competitors are listed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) page, namely "Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)-Enabled Medical Devices", where a full list of AI/ML devices can be found here. The FDA is a U.S.A. organization responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices; and by ensuring the safety of our nation's food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.

Who are our potential partners?

List of potential partners:

Why is this project a viable business?

In medical imaging, the growth of the market will be driven primarily by increasing demand for cost-effective solutions. The value of the medical imaging sector is expected to swell to $21.14 billion by 2027, according to data from Polaris Market Research.

Platform

Our platform is assembled by a set of tools. Some tools are complex by nature and may bring some questions together. Those questions should be answered and, therefore, we will answer them here regarding the platform related topics.

How to save information from Freehand ROI drawing annotations to a file?

During the time, we are doing several questions by our selves. Some of these questions are presented on the CornerstoneJS Google Forum. To answer this question, we did the same question on the forum. For the answer, it is also important to follow this issue.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia is an important tool to advertise our work. In this tool, we will be able to insert our respective publications and links, so that people can follow our work. The following sections will address this topic, as well as demonstrating several templates to do so.

How to add the full parameter set of our papers in a vertical format?

The following code is showing a template, which is used to create citations for published conference proceedings on Wikipedia. For instance, we used this template on the "Computer-aided diagnosis" article.

The template on a multiline and vertical format:

<ref>
{{cite conference
| url = https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3134111
| title = Towards Touch-Based Medical Image Diagnosis Annotation
| last1 = Calisto
| first1 = Francisco Maria
| last2 = Ferreira
| first2 = Alfredo
| last3 = C. Nascimento
| first3 = Jacinto
| last4 = Gonçalves
| first4 = Daniel
| date = 17 October 2017
| publisher = ACM
| pages = 390-395
| location = Brighton, United Kingdom
| conference = ISS '17 Proceedings of the 2017 ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces
| isbn = 978-1-4503-4691-7
| doi = 10.1145/3132272.3134111
}}
</ref>

Or in a single and horizontal format:

<ref>{{cite conference | url = https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3134111 | title = Towards Touch-Based Medical Image Diagnosis Annotation | last1 = Calisto | first1 = Francisco Maria | last2 = Ferreira | first2 = Alfredo | last3 = C. Nascimento | first3 = Jacinto | last4 = Gonçalves | first4 = Daniel | date = 17 October 2017 | publisher = ACM | pages = 390-395 | location = Brighton, United Kingdom | conference = ISS '17 Proceedings of the 2017 ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces | isbn = 978-1-4503-4691-7 | doi = 10.1145/3132272.3134111 }}</ref>
