The medical digital images are routinely collected and archived by the NHS. Such images, especially when linked to other routinely collected health data, are extremely useful for research into areas including: early/preclinical diagnosis, disease progression, validation of treatment methods, development of novel computer vision methods for biomarker extraction, validation of novel algorithms and machine learning approaches and discovery and classification of disease types. Research using routinely collected imaging data for research has historically been under-utilised for many reasons including the impracticality of seeking consent of patients, challenges of de-identification of image data, absence of non-proprietary software for efficient handling this type of “big data” for research.
