The NCI Imaging Data Commons as a platform for reproducible research in computational pathology

1 code implementation • 16 Mar 2023 • Daniela P. Schacherer, Markus D. Herrmann, David A. Clunie, Henning Höfener, William Clifford, William J. R. Longabaugh, Steve Pieper, Ron Kikinis, Andrey Fedorov, André Homeyer

Conclusions: We conclude that the IDC facilitates approaching the reproducibility limit of CompPath research (i) by enabling researchers to reuse exactly the same datasets and (ii) by integrating with cloud ML services so that experiments can be run in identically configured computing environments.

The exchange of large and complex slide microscopy imaging data in biomedical research and pathology practice is impeded by a lack of data standardization and interoperability, which is detrimental to the reproducibility of scientific findings and clinical integration of technological innovations.
