BCU Imaging Biobank, an Innovative Digital Resource for Biomedical Research Collecting Imaging and Clinical Data From Human Healthy and Pathological Subjects

BCU Imaging Biobank (BCU-IB) is a non-profit biorepository aimed at the collection, storage and retrieval of diagnostic images, derived descriptors and clinical data. The main scope of BCU-IB is to foster scientific advances in imaging and analysis, opening up new ways for biomedical research to diagnose, treat and potentially prevent diseases.BCU-IB collects a vast amount of images of the human body, including healthy and pathological subjects. Diagnostic images, clinical, anamnestic and demographic data are made available to study the associations between imaging phenotypes, diagnostic and prognostic factors. Curated datasets are stored and organized in a secure and reliable dedicated information systems based on the Extensible Neuroimaging Archive Toolkit (XNAT), hosted by Bio Check Up Srl.
