Building a serverless MRI pipeline for precision medicine on AWS
The Australian Epilepsy Project (AEP) is transforming epilepsy diagnosis and care across Australia. The AEP team faced a daunting challenge: processing and analyzing 20-hour magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) workflows for participants and clinicians scattered across the country. Their solution—a serverless, container-orchestrated neuroimaging pipeline on Amazon Web Services (AWS)—has accelerated the delivery of life-changing results to clinicians and patients while reducing costs by over 35%.
