Cloud Computing Framework Design for Cancer Imaging Research

This paper introduces the framework design, based on Microsoft technologies, existing software solutions, and image processing and visualization toolkits, to overcome various issues that medical image analysis researchers face during their research work such as re-implementing existing methods, developing and deploying new software solutions and the tedious and consuming process to generate ground truth by manually segmenting target shapes. The paper introduces how the use collaborative visual tools enhance the way image analysis research is conducted.
