Google Cloud launches new AI-enabled imaging technologies

Google Cloud on Tuesday announced Medical Imaging Suite, new technology it says can help with accessibility and interoperability of radiology and other imaging data. WHY IT MATTERS The new suite includes components focused on storage, lab, datasets, dashboards and AI pipelines for imaging, according to Google Cloud. It's designed to offer flexible options for cloud, on-prem or edge deployment to allow organizations to meet diverse sovereignty, data security, and privacy requirements, officials say, while providing centralized management and policy enforcement with Google Distributed Cloud, enabled by Anthos. Google's Cloud Healthcare API enables secure data exchange using the international DICOMweb standard for imaging and offers a scalable, enterprise-grade development environment and includes automated DICOM de-identification. Other technology partners include NetApp for seamless on-prem to cloud data management, and Change Healthcare's cloud-native enterprise imaging PACS.
