Title
Cloud-based Liquid-biopsy and Radiomics Platform for the Cancer Research Data Commons
Summary
Radiomics or imaging data analysis, as a counterpart to multi-omics data analysis, provide structural and functional details of tumors in parallel with the molecular features extracted from multi-omics data. Integrative analyses of multimodal data can uncover complex mechanisms of cancer and provide more reliable predictions. We will implement functions for radiomics analysis of the chest/lung CT scans data analysis. CT scan data are the most common type of non-invasive lung cancer diagnosis/prognosis data. We will implement analysis tools to gain insights from the imaging data, help uncover the underlying mechanisms of disease conditions and facilitate better decision-making.
Aims
We will conduct the following aims:
(1) Implement tools to access, query, and visualize imaging data through web-based interfaces. We will implement tools to: i) access and share image information from user-specified collections, cases, studies, or series; ii) query images and annotations by their attributes. The querying can be performed in a user-friendly interface or with SQL language; iii) visualize CT images and annotations.
(2) Implement image processing module to support image normalization and segmentation for machine learning. The module will consist of the following automated processing steps: i) Image normalization; ii) Lung segmentation; and iii) Nodule detection and segmentation.
