The Department of Biotechnology is proposing the Establishment of IMAGE INFORMATIC CENTERS’ for the purpose to collect, store, and retrieve diagnostic images and associated clinical data. This initiative calls for innovative proposals to create Imaging Biobanks that focus on curating high-quality, annotated image databases. This dataset serves as the cornerstone for building powerful AI algorithms. Projects that combine diverse clinical expertise to improve image metadata and develop sophisticated AI tools for image analysis will be prioritized. Specifically, proposals focused on creating a detailed dataset of images showing healthy and diseased states, annotated comprehensively by clinical experts, will be favored over those merely collecting images and devising AI algorithms for their analysis. Successful proposals will demonstrate a clear plan to advance biomedical research, enhance disease diagnosis and treatment, and leverage the power of imaging and AI
