Gpf4Med is a modular framework for the integration and study of medical information, which is distributed under the European Union Public License (EUPL v.1.1). Currently, a module is available that allows the study of clinical reports on breast cancer. The framework supports DICOM-SR to facilitate interoperability among studies collected at different centres using clinical examination, medical imaging (mammography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging -- MRI) and biopsy.
The data is combined in a graph and the different medical terminologies and ontologies annotations are used to interconnect the objects represented in the graph (e.g. patient, lesion, exploration). Other types of information may be integrated in the future when other information becomes available, such as genetic, histopathological, biomolecular and pharmacological data.
A RESTful service is provided that allows users to query the graph. The framework can leverage on Cloud computing resources to address the study of large datasets. Indeed, the framework aims at supporting studies that cannot be addressed solely using the traditional storage and computing systems of the hospital.
The most recent version of the documentation is available in the following directory inside the project:
