The American College of Radiology (ACR) and the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) have partnered to advance imaging informatics.
The ACR's Center for Research and Innovation is working with the university's Center for Biomedical Image Computing and Analytics and the Perelman School of Medicine on the project. The collaboration will facilitate translation of advanced computational algorithms into routine clinical use by focusing on developing and hosting analytic tools that will become available to the broader community through the ACR Data Analysis and Research Toolkit (DART) or other platforms.
The long-term goal of the partnership is to provide technology that leverages the value of advanced imaging analytics in cancer prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis, as well as in better understanding of the biological mechanisms of cancer development.
