Connecting 120+ leading university and tertiary care hospitals to advance chronic liver failure research.
Fostering collaborative clinical studies to improve outcomes for patients with Chronic Liver Failure.
The DICOM Lab is the technical core of EFCLIF designed for the centralized management, standardization, and secure archiving of medical images within our research studies. Implemented under the scientific XNAT platform, it provides researchers with a robust infrastructure that guarantees maximum data integrity and strict compliance with clinical data confidentiality regulations.
A single, structured repository to archive and organize all medical imaging studies (DICOM) within the laboratory. This unified database eliminates fragmentation and allows secure, fast access for researchers across multi-center studies.
We enforce strict standardization of image acquisition protocols and structured scientific review workflows. Every dataset is validated before processing to ensure consistency, reducing bias and improving overall data reliability.
Comprehensive security via automated deep anonymization pipelines executed at the ingestion layer. Patient identity (PHI) is thoroughly protected in full compliance with research guidelines, whilst preserving critical imaging metadata.
Due to strict security protocols and compliance with international data protection regulations (GDPR/HIPAA), the DICOM Lab is isolated within our corporate internal network. Any researcher or team member requiring access must submit a formal request to obtain active credentials.
