May 11 | Session 4
Building, Processing, and Governing Clinical Imaging Datasets: Foundations for AI
This final session in the series will discuss extracting structured and unstructured data from EHR systems, retrieving DICOM metadata and images from PACS, linking imaging to outcomes, and managing de-identification and IRB oversight. Emphasis will be placed on data quality, reproducibility, governance frameworks, and the operational realities of AI integration. The session will clarify how robust data infrastructure underpins trustworthy algorithm development and clinical deployment.
Objectives
- Outline the steps required to construct a clinically meaningful imaging dataset
- Compare methods for extracting and linking imaging and clinical data
- Explain governance requirements, including IRB oversight and data use agreements
- Identify common pitfalls that compromise dataset validity and AI performance
- Evaluate key considerations for safe and effective AI integration into imaging workflows
