Medical Images Collection Research

This is a not-for-profit project for the collection, archiving and reuse of magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and ultrasound images, and related demographic and clinical data, for research purposes only.

The collection of medical images and related data will be proposed to each participant to concluded or ongoing clinical trials promoted or partnered by the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research (IRFMN) requiring the collection of images or subject who perform a clinical practice examination at the Hospitals that adopted the image acquisition protocols of IRFMN. Each subject will be provided with an informed sheet and will be asked to provide consent to donate his/her medical images and related data for future research. For participants in new clinical trials, the consent sheet of the study will be accompanied by this trial's consent sheet. In addition to the information reported in the specific trial information sheet, each subject shall have access to the list of studies included in the Clinical Trials Register of IRFMN/Bioengineering Department that are reusing their medical image data. Any new study protocol promoted by IRFMN and which provides for the use of medical images stored in this trial will be submitted to the local Ethics Committee for approval.
