NIH’s Office of Data Science Strategy hosts a seminar series to highlight exemplars of data sharing and reuse on the second Friday of each month. The next seminar will take place on Oct. 11 at noon.

Dr. Maryellen Giger, vice chair of radiology and the A.N. Pritzker Distinguished Service Professor of Radiology at the University of Chicago, will discuss the role of the Medical Imaging and Data Resource Center (MIDRC) in medical imaging artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on curated real-world data, representative data, validation methods and sequestered data, understanding of potential biases and sustainability.

AI in medical imaging involves research in task-based discovery, predictive modeling, robust clinical translation and patient engagement. To enable the development of trustworthy AI, requires curated, diverse and reusable data. The open data and open resources of MIDRC will be described, eventually leading to their impact on clinical AI and patient care.
