Dr. Olga Kubassova, CEO and Prof. Mikael Boesen of IAG will speak at IWOAI.
The CEO of IAG, Dr. Olga Kubassova, will be speaking during a panel discussion on the topic of “The ‘open data’ paradigm” and Prof. Mikael Boesen, IAG’s Head of Musculoskeletal Imaging Research will be chairing a session at the International Workshop on Osteoarthritis Imaging (IWOAI), July 2-5, 2021.
Dr. Kubassova’s talk, which will be on the 2nd July, is based on the fact that various stakeholders urge researchers and research institutions to openly share their study data as much as possible. In theory, most researchers and research institutions are willing to share their data, but in practice there are many barriers in openly sharing data. In reality, the majority of study data is not being shared.
The talk will address what the challenges are for industry partners to comply to the call for ‘open data’, how industry manages request for data sharing, and what solutions are available for data sharing by industry partners.
About IWOAI
The International Workshop on Osteoarthritis Imaging started in 2007. It provides an interactive environment for those interested in osteoarthritis imaging to learn and network. Participants represent the diverse scope of the field and include professionals from specialties including medicine, surgery, radiology, medical physics and physiotherapists, as well as a broad array of professional backgrounds including academia, industry, government and regulatory agencies.
Imaging is critical in both the diagnosis and management of osteoarthritis. Clinical and epidemiological studies characteristically utilize imaging-derived inclusion/exclusion criteria as well imaging based outcome measures. This Workshop was established to offer opportunities for osteoarthritis investigators to discuss issues related to imaging of osteoarthritis. The topics of discussion may include new lessons learned about osteoarthritis pathophysiology by using imaging modalities, recent advances in imaging techniques and appropriate analytic methods of imaging derived data.
