From scripts to an operating system
A one-off script can process files, but an enterprise pipeline must know what ran, on which source, under which policy, with which result. The orchestration layer converts reusable transformations into controlled stages with logs, checksums, retries, exceptions and release gates.
Composable programme stages
Each clinical programme selects the modules it needs while inheriting shared controls. A brain MRI programme may add sequence classification and defacing; a liver programme may add MRE map validation; a CT programme may add reconstruction and slice-thickness gates.
- Source registration and approved-scope validation
- Study graph construction and duplicate resolution
- Metadata and pixel de-identification
- Format conversion and derived-product generation
- Automated and human-in-the-loop quality review
- Immutable release manifest and controlled delivery
Failure is a first-class state
Ambiguous series, unreadable instances, missing sequences and privacy exceptions are not silently discarded. They move to explicit review states, retain diagnostic evidence and are either resolved or excluded with a recorded reason.
Questions, answered directly.
Can pipelines run differently by hospital?+
Yes. Site-specific adapters can normalize local exports while common release controls remain unchanged.
How are pipeline changes tracked?+
Modules, rules, model versions and release manifests are versioned so outputs can be reproduced and compared.
What happens when a job fails?+
The study or series enters a controlled exception state for retry, review or documented exclusion.
