QuantImage v2 platform

QuantImage v2 (QI2) is an open-source web-based platform for no-code clinical radiomics research. It has been developed with the aim to empower physicians to play a leading role in clinical radiomics research. We believe that tighter involvement of domain experts is critical to ensuring the clinical relevance of radiomics research and will lead to the development of better interpretable and more generalizable radiomics models.

One-stop tool for clinical radiomics research

To implement this vision, and different to most other radiomics softwares, QI2 supports all steps of a typical radiomics study workflow:

Furthermore, QI2 was designed to integrate well into the clinical environment:

Built upon established Open-Source components

QI relies on established components for medical image management, radiomics feature computation and machine learning, including Kheops, an open-source web-based for managing collections of DICOM images, pyradiomics for feature extraction and scikit-learn / scikit-survival for machine learning model development and evaluation.

Overview

The video below is an introduction to the QuantImage v2 radiomics research platform and its features:

Getting Started

You can try out the platform here. Registration gives you access to a fully functional installation of QuantImage. We are preparing information and pointers to public datasets for testing, more details will be available soon.

In order to get access to the testing datasets, first log into the Kheops Platform once to initialize your user account, then contact us to request the access to the datasets.

QuantImage v2 Virtual Machine

To make it easy for you to test QI2 with your data, we provide QI2 as a (VirtualBox) Virtual Machine image here.

NOTE : The download (zip archive, ~13GB) includes a README.md file with indications on login credentials, updating the platform, etc. The QuantImage v2 Virtual Machine is pre-configured to use 8GB of RAM & 4 CPUs, which corresponds to the minimum specifications for running the platform smoothly.
