MIaaS: Medical Image Archival and Analytics as-a-Service

Medical image is an effective means to identify medical abnormalities. Patients typically have medical images taken at different clinics during lifetime, and they often wish to have second interpretation on medical images showing substantial diseases. With these two motivations, we design MIaaS which is a cloud service for archiving medical images and analyzing medical images by software and/or physicians. We present the design and implementation of MIaaS and show its practical value as low-cost personal healthcare service.
