Case Studies
Creating Advanced Ontologies for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Problem
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center faced challenges in detecting and classifying vena cava filters due to the complexity of label protocols (ontologies), rendering existing and open-source tools unusable. These protocols required a tailored approach for accurate annotation and classification.
Key Result
With Encord's flexibility, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center successfully configured over 1000 custom protocol settings in a streamlined process. The total setup time for the project was reduced to just 10 minutes, ensuring rapid deployment and implementation. The platform's auditability feature ensured the accuracy and traceability of annotations, providing confidence in the project's outcomes.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center adopted Encord to build custom label protocols for pulmonary thrombosis projects.
Problem
Detecting and classifying vena cava filters in complex label protocols (ontologies) rendered existing & open-source tools unusable.
Solution
Deployed Encord's label protocol studio to build custom protocols, DICOM annotation tool, worklists & automation modules to increase efficiency.
Results
Project was made feasible by the flexibility offered by Encord's ontology study.
- 1000+ protocol configurations
- 10 minutes total setup time
- 100% auditable
Yes. In addition to being able to train models & run inference using our platform, you can either import model predictions via our APIs & Python SDK, integrate your model in the Encord annotation interface if it is deployed via API, or upload your own model weights.
At Encord, we take our security commitments very seriously. When working with us and using our services, you can ensure your and your customer's data is safe and secure. You always own labels, data & models, and Encord never shares any of your data with any third party. Encord is hosted securely on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Encord native integrations with private cloud buckets, ensuring that data never has to leave your own storage facility.
