EICON Radiology

Each year, the pharmaceutical industry spends billions of dollars conducting clinical trials. Leaving aside for a moment the outcomes - and their potential human benefits - the only physical outputs of a clinical trial are data. 

A major focus for the industry in recent times has been on the potential value of clinical trials data beyond their original purpose. How can existing clinical trials data be re-evaluated and repurposed to support revised or novel clinical outcomes? 

In order to leverage the potential value of its data, a pharma or biotech company needs access to the source data. For several reasons, historical, logistical, etc., data have not necessarily been collected and stored at the sponsor but rather have been assigned to the care of external third parties - Core Labs, CROs.

The primary purpose of the EICON platform, since its inception, has been to facilitate the collection, storage, management, quality control, review, export and integration of clinical trials medical image data at the sponsor. As the landscape has evolved, our technologies and platform have also evolved. We know that it takes more than a single point solution to meet the complex needs of clinical research for medical image data - data collection from external third parties requires solutions that do not strain the resources of the external partner; data export for AI requires sophisticated Search capabilities and Dataset Management; the need for insights and analytics is ever growing and requires a flexible, integrated graphical capability.

The components that make up the EICON platform are fully interoperable and we combine these components into specific solutions for the specific needs of each target domain or 'ology. Following is an overview of our Radiology solution.
