The EUropean Federation for CAncer IMages (EUCAIM) is a part of the European Commission-initiated European Cancer Imaging Initiative, which aims to foster innovation and deployment of digital technologies in cancer treatment and care to achieve more precise and faster clinical decision making, diagnostics, treatment and predictive medicine for cancer patients.
EUCAIM’s aim is to build a pan-European digital federated infrastructure of cancer-related images which will be used for the development of AI tools toward precision medicine. The hope is that this infrastructure will provide the means to develop AI tools that will be able to enhance the (cancer) diagnosis procedure, treatment and the identification of the need for predictive medicine benefiting patients across Europe.
