Central Repository for Digital Pathology

Descrizione del progetto

Una piattaforma digitale europea sulle patologie

L’informatica ad alte prestazioni sta rivoluzionando le cartelle cliniche elettroniche e i dati digitali riferiti alle patologie. La missione del progetto BIGPICTURE, finanziato dall’UE, è istituire la prima piattaforma europea in cui archiviare i dati di imaging a diapositiva intera di qualità verificata. Il consorzio è formato dai principali reparti europei di patologia e si adopererà ai fini di una struttura open source per l’accesso, la registrazione e l’estrazione di questo tipo di dati grazie agli algoritmi di IA. Con l’accesso a milioni di dati di imaging a diapositiva intera, BIGPICTURE ipotizza metodi basati sull’IA in grado di aiutare i medici a interpretare le caratteristiche tessutali e a elaborare diagnosi rapide, con metodi ad alte prestazioni ed evitando preconcetti o errori umani.

Obiettivo

BIGPICTURE, a pathology-led consortium, has the vision to become the catalyst in digital transformation in Pathology. Our mission is to create the first European GDPR compliant platform, in which both quality-controlled Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) data and advanced Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms will exist. The BIGPICTURE platform will be built on existing assets of ELIXIR EU data infrastructure, including the federated European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) technology for managing the exchange of confidential information between contributors and users. The consortium will use Cytomine, an established open-source, cross-platform framework to develop unique tools for access to WSI, including annotations and visualisation of algorithm results, while we will develop new and generic models to facilitate AI development and mining of WSI data. By engaging and building consensus with all the relevant stakeholders, we will contribute to the development of a regulatory framework for digital slides and AI-based methods. Finally, BIGPICTURE envisions sustainability of its platform through a community- based model which relies on reciprocity, value creation and inclusiveness.
To achieve our vision, we have brought together Europe’s leaders in the field of computational pathology who have access to national and European high-performance computing infrastructures as well as Europe’s fully digitalised pathology departments. Additionally, the consortium has currently access to approximately 4.5 million clinical WSI covering a wider range of indications through 17 partners and 23 third parties from the largest European and international pathology and trial groups. Our consortium is further strengthened by the presence of the European Society of Pathology, Digital Pathology Association, FDA and 9 SMEs as partners, while we are further supported by professional societies, and patient advocates.
