Explore key services that support clinicians and researchers in discovering and accessing EuCanImage data through dedicated subsections

EuCanImage provides a range of services to facilitate data discovery and access for the scientific and clinical community. In the following subsections, users can explore platform features specifically designed to support the retrieval of imaging and health data, and to understand the conditions under which such data can be accessed and used.

Data Repositories

Well-established European data infrastructures are used for long-term archive of the cancer imaging, -omics and health data collections that are being curated, annotated and harmonized in the consortium.

Data Access

While the EuCanImage platform provides access to a comprehensive catalogue of imaging and related datasets, access requests for controlled data are not handled directly by the project. Instead, visitors are directed to the appropriate data repositories hosting the datasets of interest. For more information, please refer to the Data Catalogue section.
