The American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute (DSI) has partnered with the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI)-funded Cancer Imaging Archive in an effort to aid developers of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in radiology.
The ACR DSI has linked its Define-AI use cases with datasets from the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). Specifically, these datasets have been matched to ACR DSI cancer and noncancer use cases based upon attributes such as body area, modality, and presence of secondary comorbidities.
As a result, developers can create radiology AI algorithms that include defined data elements and DICOM images useful for algorithm inputs, outputs, training, and testing, according to the organization.
