"Mount Sinai Launches EHR-Integrated Imaging Research Warehouse" - Fred Pennic

Mount Sinai Health System has created an Imaging Research Warehouse (IRW) to revolutionize clinical care and translational research to ultimately improve human health. "The Imaging Research Warehouse is a unique resource that will provide large volumes of de-identified images to the research community" said David Mendelson, MD, vice chair, radiology IT at Mount Sinai Health System. In a written statement, Zahi Fayad, PhD, director of the Mount Sinai Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute, called the image database "uncharted territory for our scientists, and we are excited to give our imaginations free rein to explore imaging for the first time and think without boundaries. By having this imaging data available, we can find new patterns of disease and new ways to diagnose and develop new treatments."
