摘要Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)plays an important role in medical diagnosis,gener-ating petabytes of image data annually in large hospitals.This voluminous data stream requires a significant amount of network bandwidth and extensive storage infrastructure.Additionally,local data processing demands substantial manpower and hardware in-vestments.Data isolation across different healthcare institutions hinders cross-institutional collaboration in clinics and research.In this work,we anticipate an innova-tive MRI system and its four generations that integrate emerging distributed cloud computing,6G bandwidth,edge computing,federated learning,and blockchain technol-ogy.This system is called Cloud-MRI,aiming at solving the problems of MRI data storage security,transmission speed,artificial intelligence(AI)algorithm maintenance,hardware upgrading,and collaborative work.The workflow commences with the transformation of k-space raw data into the standardized Imaging Society for Magnetic Resonance in Med-icine Raw Data(ISMRMRD)format.Then,the data are uploaded to the cloud or edge nodes for fast image reconstruction,neural network training,and automatic analysis.Then,the outcomes are seamlessly transmitted to clinics or research institutes for diagnosis and other services.The Cloud-MRI system will save the raw imaging data,reduce the risk of data loss,facilitate inter-institutional medical collaboration,and finally improve diagnostic accuracy and work efficiency.
