Patients donate medical images to public database

The Lung Cancer Alliance is running a project called Give A Scan, in which patients donate their CT scans and medical records to a database that is open to the public. The aim is to grow a dataset that researchers can use to develop new detection methods and treatments for lung cancer. The project has received support from Kitware which develops open-source software for image analysis and visualization.
