Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Over the course of their treatment, patients often switch hospitals, requiring staff at the new hospital to import external imaging studies to their local database. In this study, the authors present MOdality Mapping and Orchestration (MOMO), a Deep Learning-based approach to automate this mapping process by combining metadata analysis and a neural network ensemble.
