Welcome to MIPAR Portal: a SaaS for Medical Imaging


MIPAR is an e-infrastructure for sharing and analyzing medical images. It was developed by the team of experts in computer graphics & computer vision group of Computer Science department in Lagos State University under the leadership of Professor Benjamin ARIBISALA. Other team members are Dr. Alade RAHMAN, Dr. Oluwatoyin ENIKUOMEHIN, Mr. Patrick OWATE and Mr. Olusola OLABANJO. See the FAQ for common questions on MIPAR.

Medical images are used for clinical diagnosis, treatment and patient management. There are many methods of acquiring medical images and each technique has its own application area, strengths and weaknesses. The recent advancements in medical image analysis has given birth to image guided therapy, virtual reality and augmented reality, all these among other innovations have greatly improved health delivery, improved quality of life and also saved lives.

The high cost of image acquisitions and limited availability of medical image analysts plus the need to share expertise amongst clinical experts have led to the recent idea of creating medical image repository. This has been greatly facilitated by the advances in internet and network technology which offer the tool to have a web based image repository accessible to privileged experts all over the globe, irrespective of their physical location.

Such repository, even thou are available in some developed countries but are not available anywhere in Africa. The aim of this project is to create a web based image repository using African data and to make the repository available to privilege researchers at no cost. Additionally, the proposed platform will be able to process some types of medical images. It is our hope that such useful, rear and unique tool will encourage collaboration, improve diagnosis, improve patient management and could also lead to increased life expectancy.
