Introduction

Imaging-based cancer research is in the beginning phase of an Integrative-biology revolution. It is now feasible to extract large sets of quantitative image features relevant to prognosis or treatment across three complementary research domains:  in vivo clinical imaging, pre-clinical imaging, and digital pathology. These high-dimensional image feature sets can be used to infer clinical phenotypes or correlate with gene–protein signatures. This type of analysis, however, requires large volumes of image data. In this project, we propose to develop and deploy software that supports a comprehensive and reusable exploration and fusion of imaging, clinical, and molecular data. Within these three research domains, only one, clinical imaging, has made some progress in terms of establishing a framework and standards for informatics solutions.  For pre-clinical imaging and digital pathology, there are no such standards that allow for the seamless viewing, integration, and analysis of disparate data sets to produce integrated views of the data, quantitative analysis, data integration, and research or clinical decision support systems.
