THE JOINT RESEARCH UNIT BIOMEDICAL IMAGING UNIT FISABIO-CIPF IS SPECIALIZED IN ANONYMIZATION, CURATION AND PROCESSING OF MEDICAL IMAGE DATA THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND RADIOMICS TECHNIQUES.
The Biomedical Imaging and Artificial Intelligence Joint Unit FISABIO-CIPF is a leader in the curation and processing of medical image data, including anonymization, using advanced artificial intelligence and radiomics techniques. It heads the Medical Imaging Bank of the Valencian Region (BIMCV) and contributes to the BIDS standard (Brain Imaging Data Structure, a unified framework for organizing and describing neuroimaging data) by developing BEP025, which defines MIDS (Medical Population Imaging Data Structure, guidelines for population-level medical imaging data).
The Unit participates in national and international projects — among others — leading a work package of the European joint action e-Can+ and the national project Artemisa (Efficiency in Neurosurgery with Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality). It also collaborates in DeepHealth, TARTAGLIA and IMPaC-DATA, designing imaging datalakes and predictive models based on deep learning for segmentation, classification, anomaly detection, and multi-labeling of structures and pathologies. With over a decade of experience, it ensures regulatory compliance and best practices in medical data governance. Core innovation areas include large-scale clinical data analysis, radiomic biomarker extraction, and the development of AI agents for diagnostics, planning, and clinical workflow optimization using augmented reality.
