Project: Integrate imaging data to teach imaging informatics for education

Background

We have NHANES data loaded on Librehealth EHR for education - and last spring there were 4 universities that used this data for teaching.

There is a deficiency of tools to teach imaging informatics in schools , and hence this project will be used to extend the SIIM hackathon dataset tools into a teaching EMR

The functionality will need to

  1. Implement data import for imaging studies using the cancer Imaging Archive using the Rest API - https://wiki.cancerimagingarchive.net/display/Public/TCIA+Programmatic+Interface+(REST+API)+Usage+Guide
  2. Create a connector to the SIIM hackathon resources - See below
  3. Create a container / docker container to ease deployment
  4. Bonus point : Integrate imaging standards including - DICOMWeb , DICOM, IHE MHD , FHIR , and CDAs into the EHR for importing data

SIIM resources

Technical requirements MySQL , Java , PHP , Laravel, REST, DICOM

Submission Working code repository and docker of the above implementation

Great project. Perhaps down the road convolutional neural networks can be part of this to teach AI in radiology

I carried it over from last year

This looks exciting …

Hello I am interested in this project can you please give some brief idea that what exactly needs to be done? How to reach to mentors for the same?

Thank you

A good starter task for anyone trying this project would be to try composing the docker https://github.com/LibreHealthIO/lh-ehr/tree/master/docker and testing the existing NHANES data in the EHR. If you find any issues, please create an issue and send a pull request to the repo.

Folks, please submit Pull Requests on GitHub for LibreHealth EHR.
