African NeuroImaging Archive (AfNIA)
The African NeuroImaging Archive
AfNIA is a repository of brain imaging data aggregated from partner clinics across Africa. AfNiA will provide equitable access to well-curated diagnostic images for data science and AI applications.
Sprint AI Training for African Medical Imaging Knowledge Translation
Sprint AI Training for African Medical Imaging Knowledge Translation
SPARK is a short course in computational medical imaging designed to rapidly scale up AI imaging capacity across Africa through a series of lectures and hands-on training to create the power of experience in AI diagnostic imaging innovations.
HASKE
HASKE: Free Open-Sourced Software PACS for low-resourced settings
HASKE is the Hausa word for light or brightness. This project will develop a Free Open-Source Software (FOSS) Picture Archiving System (PACS) that can be readily implemented in radiology and non-radiology health clinics and maintained by non-IT staff. HASKE will serve as a launchpad for future federated imaging ecosystems.
SWIM
Scan With Me (SWIM)
Scan With Me (SWiM) is a CAMERA initiative enhancing MRI skills in LMICs. The 2024 program focused on Brain MRI acquisition, training 103 participants from 18 countries in advanced neuroimaging techniques like ASL, DTI, rsfMRI, and MRS. It ran from August 6th to September 28th, emphasizing quality-driven imaging practices
Comprehensive Neuroimaging Analysis Experience in Resource-Constrained Settings
Sprint AI Training for African Medical Imaging Knowledge Translation
The Comprehensive Neuroimaging Analysis Experience in Resource-Constrained Settings (CONNExIN) is a free MRI program for LMIC researchers, focusing on dementia imaging. Held from August 26 to October 5, 2024, it featured virtual courses, a hybrid bootcamp, and an optional 9-week module on reproducible pipelines and scientific writing.
BraTS 2024 Africa Dataset
BraTS Africa Dataset
The BraTS Africa Dataset is a collection of pre-operative brain MRI scans from 146 patients across six diagnostic centers in Nigeria, aimed at expanding brain tumor segmentation data for African populations. De-identified and standardized, it supports research on inclusive diagnostic tools and highlights neuroimaging peculiarities in African settings.
BraTS-Africa Challenge 2024
BraTS-Africa Challenge
The BraTS-Africa Challenge develops and evaluates CAD methods for brain tumor management in resource-limited settings. Launched in 2023 with support from CAMERA and Lacuna Fund, its second edition in 2024, backed by MICCAI, utilized BraTS African Datasets to produce segmentation labels for glioma sub-regions, advancing medical imaging innovation.
