Abstract

This article is a summary of the quantitative imaging subgroup of the 2017 AAPM Practical Big Data Workshop (PBDW-2017) on progress and challenges in big data applied to cancer treatment and research supplemented by a draft white paper following an American Association of Physicists in Medicine FOREM meeting on Imaging Genomics in 2014.
The goal of PBDW-2017 was to close the gap between theoretical vision and practical experience with encountering and solving challenges in curating and analyzing data.
Recommendations based on the meetings are summarized.
