BCU Imaging Biobank (BCU-IB) is a non-profit biorepository aimed at the collection, storage and retrieval of diagnostic images, derived descriptors and clinical data. The main scope of BCU-IB is to foster scientific advances in imaging and analysis, opening up new ways for biomedical research to diagnose, treat and potentially prevent diseases. BCU-IB collects a vast amount of images of the human body, including healthy and pathological subjects. Diagnostic images, clinical, anamnestic and demographic data are made available to study the associations between imaging phenotypes, diagnostic and prognostic factors.
