Proposal Earmark

General

Proposal Description

We would like to inspect the medical image data e.g. MR, roentgen, dermatological images and detect the sensitive data by leveraging AI (Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)) and Python libraries such as OpenCV and PyTesseract.

Before we use provided image data, we want to measure whether the data is in the appropriate format and qualified enough. If data needs to be brought into the appropriate format and/or if the data is low-quality data, image processing methods need to be used.

Image processing is the process of transforming an image into a digital form and performing certain operations to get some useful information from it. Images can be RGB images or Grayscale images. In this way, we will provide complete sensitive image security and also the “training medical image” concept.

CNN is mainly used in extracting features from the image with the help of its layers. CNNs are widely used in image classification where each input image is passed through a series of layers to get a probabilistic value between 0 and 1.

CNN is a computer vision deep learning network that can recognize and classify picture features. After processing (if needed) images will be ready to be used in Computer Vision models.

CNN model works as follows;

Pytesseract or Python-tesseract can read and recognize text in images and is commonly used in python Optical Character Recognition (OCR) image-to-text use cases.

OpenCV is a Python library that allows you to perform image processing and computer vision tasks.

Tech Stack:

Medical Image Inspector in Python (PyTesseract, OpenCV)

GitHub will be used for Code & Version Control

Inspector decision-making intelligence by Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

Visual Studio Code will be used as IDE

Inspector results will be generated in JSON

The endpoint will be published on SwaggerHub

We will maintain and develop further and fix bugs/errors since this module will be part of our Datatera solution.

Medical image format will be in MRI, DICOM, and dermatological images only from the beginning and we can definitely support more formats e.g. roentgen, etc., and even medical images.

We will add possible extensions to this work to be able to provide more relevant AI insights on the metadata feature.

Project Description

Datatera is a global marketplace to connect HealthData Providers with HealthTech companies by making larger samples of the high-quality real-world datasets available.

Final Product

HealthTech AI companies are facing challenges to get access to qualitative healthcare datasets while they are building AI models which result in bias and other errors and that take a lot of time and money to maintain and manage. Datatera will provide a global data computing marketplace where Data Scientists will have the opportunity to train their AI models on high-qualitative and diverse training datasets while preserving privacy.

Value Add Criteria

We have the intention to enrich the metadata feature with very valuable AI insights to be able to help Data Consumers to choose the right dataset for their needs to consume. Image processing especially in medicine has been highly demanded and utilized.

Medical image processing aims to build solutions that use computerized technologies as we do at Datatera secure the sensitivity to tackle medical diagnosis challenges.

We believe we can improve and develop the Ocean protocol's C2D concept with a richer metadata feature to be able to provide full awareness of the image data sensitivity we provide in our platform.

It is equally important to ensure that all datasets that are available on our platform are already inspected and they contain certain value to Data Consumers when they choose to train their AI models.
