Exploitation Of Data For Research And Artificial Intelligence: Medical, Ethical, Legal, Technical Issues

Artificial intelligence and data mining are the subject of an exponential number of works in recent years, suggesting major advances in medical imaging in many applications. The extraction of quantifiable parameters derived from imaging, called radiomics, would thus make it possible to identify new prognostic and predictive biomarkers. These advances cannot succeed without access to data. Although these data exist in abundance in health facilities, their exploitation is not self-evident. The authors combine their medical, legal and technical expertise to provide an overview of issues related to the ethical and legal framework, and related to the identification and preparation of data sets.
