ICONIC centre Information Processing group lead by Dr Tatjana Loncar-Turukalo teamed with researchers from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Novi Sad have obtained funding by European Commission in H2020 Research and Innovation call AI for Health Imaging (DT-TDS-05-2020). Through this call EC invests €35 million to support the development of analysis of health images for cancer diagnostics based on Artificial Intelligence. The 42 months INCISIVE project (A multimodal AI-based toolbox and an interoperable health imaging repository for the empowerment of imaging analysis related to the diagnosis, prediction and follow-up of cancer) has been granted almost €10 million to develop and validate: (1) an AI-based toolbox that enhances the accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, interpretability and cost-effectiveness of existing cancer imaging methods, (2) an automated-ML based annotation mechanism to rapidly produce training data for machine learning research and (3) a pan- European repository federated repository of medical images. Within the project lifetime INCISIVE solution will be investigated in three validation studies for lung, breast and colorectal cancer, taking place in 8 sites, from 5 countries (Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Serbia and Spain), with participation of at least 2000 patients and a total duration of 1.5 year.
