• Abstract: In the rapidly evolving field of medical imaging, machine learning algorithms have become indispensable for enhancing diagnostic accuracy. However, the effectiveness of these algorithms is contingent upon the availability and organization of high-quality medical imaging datasets. Traditional Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) data management systems are inadequate for handling the scale and complexity of data required to be facilitated in machine learning algorithms. This paper introduces an innovative data curation tool, developed as part of the Kaapana open-source toolkit, aimed at streamlining the organization, management, and processing of large-scale medical imaging datasets. The tool is specifically tailored to meet the needs of radiologists and machine learning researchers. It incorporates advanced search, auto-annotation and efficient tagging functionalities for improved data curation. Additionally, the tool facilitates quality control and review, enabling researchers to validate image and segmentation quality in large datasets. It also plays a critical role in uncovering potential biases in datasets by aggregating and visualizing metadata, which is essential for developing robust machine learning models. Furthermore, Kaapana is integrated within the Radiological Cooperative Network (RACOON), a pioneering initiative aimed at creating a comprehensive national infrastructure for the aggregation, transmission, and consolidation of radiological data across all university clinics throughout Germany.
