This is the home page for the Medical Imaging De-Identification (MIDI) project.

MIDI Project Goal

Drive consensus, provide guidance, and promote best practices for medical image de-identification for various imaging informatics applications in academic and industrial research.

MIDI Project Objectives

The MIDI projects described below focus on medical imaging in radiology and the DICOM standard, as the most basic, and yet the most prevalent need or use case.  Future extensions of these projects could address imaging de-ID in other domains such as digital pathology (whole slide imaging) and multi-spectral imaging.  There will be many NCI use cases for these projects, including IDC, potentially TCIA, SBIR imaging de-ID contract product validation, benchmarking of de-ID community tools through challenges, and promotion of data sharing in the research community.
