Imageens and the Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) have announced a collaboration. The objective of this partnership is to allow the AP-HP to provide its researchers with a software for the valorisation and structuring of medical imaging data.

The use of algorithms to help medical decision making in order to propose therapies and diagnoses or to allow data analysis within the framework of a study has become an increasingly common practice. This is why the AP-HP wishes to make its massive medical imaging data available to its engineers and clinical researchers so that they can submit them to this type of algorithm. All of the AP-HP’s data managers and engineers are working together to improve the quality of this data, regardless of the medical examination from which it was obtained (ultrasound, CT, radiology, PET or MRI).

The partnership signed with the start-up Imageens enables AP-HP to develop software using artificial intelligence. This software, called LABEL, automatically labels and classifies large quantities of imaging data, thus facilitating their reuse for studies and research.

Imageens will bring its expertise to improve the current version of LABEL so that this new version is reliable in a large-scale application. It should be noted that Imageens will only work on de-identified imaging data in order to comply with the protection of patients’ personal data. Thanks to this partnership, the AP-HP and its researchers obtain the right to use the software and the possibility to exploit the imaging data classified by it, which represents a considerable gain in time and quality.
