Brad edited this page Apr 20, 2021 · 3 revisions

Agenda

  1. (Brad) Review the WG-joint work to build a sample FHIR representation of COVID grand challenge data. Suggested datasets:
    1. COVID-19 2020 Lung CT Lesion Segmentation Challenge - cannot get access
    2. Other sources: Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine & Imaging COVID-19 Data
  2. (All) Review the discussion at Github on mixed datasets
  3. (All) Review if there are any Github issues/discussions tagged with #DataWorkingGroup or that should be flagged for this group to discuss
  4. (Wenqi) Updates from MONAI development

Notes

  • Attendees: Brad, Raghav, Mona, Stephen
  • There should be a library function to extract relevant meta tags from objects
    • E.g., DICOM tags; while there is a wealth of data in DICOM tags, depending on the use case, more may be needed
  • Discussion of different representations of data
    • Re-iterated discussion that FHIR is likely not the right representation right now for training AI models, but may be appropriate for inference
    • There needs to be a mapping of different object types into a simplified format for consumption by MONAI, including FHIR -> simplified format
    • CSV (or TSV) is too simplified with a lossy destruction of data context (column meaning is human / arbitrarily decided)
    • It may make sense to have some form of converter of a format like FHIR or DICOM (or BIDS or etc) into a simplified format
    • It's a joint effort between Data and I/O to discuss further
    • Parked discussion until Thursday (joint meeting with Data, I/O and other WGs)
  • Github Issues and Discussion topics now have the ability to be tagged to a particular WG

Action Items

  • All should review issues and discussions and consider tagging them to Data WG where appropriate

Sample FHIR Representation (not discussed during meeting)

Sample FHIR Object:
