ePAD
is a freely available quantitative imaging informatics platform,
developed by the Rubin
Lab
at
Stanford
Medicine Radiology
at
Stanford
University.
Thanks to its extensibility, ePAD can be used to support a wide range
of imaging-based projects.
Radiologists
tracking lesions on tomographical scans often can find it hard to put
together a “picture” of their progress by reading a textual
narrative of the patient’s scan history.
To
help make the process more intuitive and help improve how scans are
analyzed, researchers at Stanford
School of Medicine have
developed the ePAD
(electronic
Physician Annotation Device), an online tool for visual tracking of
changes in radiological scans. While specifically developed for
radiologists, the same technology can be applied by other physicians
for documenting and keeping records on their patients. For
