How the process works
Hospital inventory is registered into a governed programme. The parties confirm authority, de-identification, clinical review, release controls and commercial terms before preparation, model execution or secure access.
Questions, answered directly.
What counts as one MRI case?+
Usually one verified examination or study for one patient at a defined time, containing multiple sequences and many DICOM instances. The exact counting rule is stated in the dataset card.
Are brain MRI scans the only data available from hospitals?+
No. Hospitals produce MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, pathology, reports, laboratory data, waveforms and clinical records. MedCorpora's current public programmes focus on MRI and CT.
Can clinic or physiotherapy data be licensed?+
Potentially, if it has a defined AI use, reliable outcomes, appropriate consent or authority, privacy protection and sufficient scale. It is not part of the current public programme list.
Does de-identification make data automatically legal to sell?+
No. Commercial authority, applicable law and the governing supplier and buyer agreements must also support the intended use.
Can code generate radiologist annotations?+
Code can assist organization and pre-labeling, but clinical labels and segmentations require a task-appropriate reference standard and qualified review.
Why document demographics?+
Demographic distributions support representation, subgroup performance and generalization analysis, subject to lawful and minimized use.
How is pricing determined?+
Pricing depends on verified case volume, rarity, sequence completeness, clinical review, annotations, privacy work, permitted use, delivery and exclusivity.
Can the same dataset be licensed non-exclusively?+
Yes, if the hospital authorization and buyer agreements permit it.
Is programme access public?+
No. Public pages describe capabilities; access requires programme-specific diligence, authority and licensing.
Is MedCorpora a law firm or healthcare provider?+
No. The company provides data infrastructure and coordination. Legal, privacy and clinical decisions require the appropriate qualified professionals.
