Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) are two non-invasive techniques that are increasingly being used to identify and quantify biochemical markers associated with certain diseases, e.g., choline in the case of cancer. The associating of MRI/MRS images, patient’s electronic health record, genome information, and environmental factors increase the precision of diagnosis and treatment. The authors present a collaboration framework based on Cloud Computing which allows analysis of MRI/MRS data based on advanced mathematical tools, advanced combination, and link discovery between different data types, so as to increase the precision and consequently avoid non-appropriate therapy and treatment plans.
