Clinical integration and federated setup of the Joint Imaging Platform (JIP). The JIP is located within the protected hospital information technology infrastructure, in principle allowing it to process the entire available patient data and facilitating its integration into local procedures. A central model storage was established at German Cancer Research Center to allow secure and access-controlled distribution and exchange of the platform itself, the analysis methods, and processing results in the form of containers.
