A DICOM Framework for Machine Learning Pipelines against Real-Time Radiology Images [PDF]

Journal of Digital Imaging (JDI), 2021, 2020
Executing machine learning (ML) pipelines in real-time on radiology images is hard due to the limited computing resources in clinical environments and the lack of efficient data transfer capabilities to run them on research clusters. We propose Niffler, an integrated framework that enables the execution of ML pipelines at research clusters by ...
