Medical Diagnostic Web (MDW) said it will collaborate with Bitfury and Longenesis, two blockchain technology companies, to develop a new platform for securely storing and sharing medical imaging data.

MDW recently debuted its blockchain-based software application at RSNA 2018. The blockchain marketplace allows radiologists and radiology groups to establish business relationships and receive immediate compensation. Joining forces with Bitfury and Longenesis, MDW now aims to improve upon its blockchain marketplace for radiology.

The new infrastructure will add to MDW's current blockchain features such as built-in data anonymization, advanced encryption, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, and user permissioning -- further enhancing its safety and efficiency, according to the companies. The platform may also help resolve issues in dealing with medical imaging data, such as delayed access to services and results, the companies said.

MDW, Bitfury, and Longenesis announced their partnership at this week's Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual meeting in Orlando, FL.

ChatGPT powered by GPT-4 and using DALL-E−3 was asked to generate an image for teaching purposes that demonstrated: a nuclear medicine bone scan with skeletal metastases (top left); coronary artery disease (top right); an F-18 FDG-PET scan of the brain with Alzheimer's disease (bottom left); and an x-ray showing a fracture (bottom right). These are misleading for educational purposes and for patients who may be searching for information. Image and caption courtesy of Radiography.
