Anonymisation of Imaging Data - Started Q1 2024

Project Scope:

The scope of this project remains flexible, but initially we plan a literature review. The types of image files will be reviewed (X-rays, (f)MRIs, CT scans, etc.), their formats (DICOM, NIfTI, etc.), their positions (limbs, heads, organs, etc.) and all associated metadata. There will also be a discussion on data handling, storage and transfer. Any existing guidance and repositories will be reviewed. We will then focus on use cases that will have the most impact based on interest and complexity. Any use cases being presented will be in the context of a request alongside clinical data, in keeping with the main drivers behind the Data Transparency Working Group. There will be a strong focus on processing metadata associated with images as that is where the strengths of the Working Group lie (processing and anonymising data) and where most of the risk lies in the sharing of images.

Current Status:

  • New oncology focus for Imaging Data (update with Alex statement)

Regular Project Meeting Day/Time:

  • Bi-weekly: Tuesdays 16:00-17:00pm 00 GMT

Key Skills:

  • Literature review

  • Experience in data handling, storage and transfer

  • Experience in processing metadata associated with imaging

Educate the General Population on Data privacy and Data Sharing – Started Q2 2021

Project Scope:

To create engaging content on data privacy and data sharing that can be understood and used by the general population (any member of the public regardless of their sector or profession) covering topics such as what is being done to share clinical trial data and information, where data goes and how it is used, what data privacy is, why it is needed, why it is important and the differences between mandatory vs. voluntary data sharing. The project is to follow a similar approach to the Data Transparency (DT) Terminology Harmonisation project, this time aiming towards a more general audience to address commonly asked questions surrounding data privacy and data sharing. The Terminology Harmonisation project creates an excellent set of deliverables better suited for those who work with data sharing on a more technical level.

Current Status:

  • 1.Publish Video 3: ‘What is Clinical Data?’

    2.Publish PHUSE-MRCT Infographics Collaboration

    3.Finalise the script for the last three videos in our series:

    -Video 4: ‘Journey of a Data Point’ 

    -Video 5: ‘What is Data Sharing?’ 

    -Video 6: ‘What is Data Privacy?’

Regular Project Meeting Day/Time:
