The Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) presented a virtual Medical Imaging De-Identification (MIDI) workshop focused on public sharing of imaging data.
The primary emphasis of the workshop wass on medical images with accompanying data elements, especially those in formats in which the data elements are embedded, particularly DICOM.
The goals of the two-day workshop were to:
- Share best practices and recommendations for medical imaging de-identification, as identified by the MIDI Task Group convened by the NCI.
- Learn about approaches to conventional image de-identification in the United States, the European Union, and Canada.
- Discuss approaches to image de-identification by industry.
- Explore the roles of statistical risk analysis, de-facing, and AI in de-identification.
