Enterprise Imaging Platform for Research

Centralize All Your Imaging Data

Aggregate imaging and video data from any source, site or modality into a single, searchable repository.

Save Time Through Automation

Automate data preprocessing pipelines at scale with Flywheel Gears, so your team can spend more time on discovery and analysis.

Get Imaging Data Ready for Research

Create structured annotation workflows and enable blind reads to transform raw imaging data into an analysis-ready database.

Collaborate Across Sites and Institutions

Enable biopharma teams, CROs and academic partners to work from the same data with role-based access and federated identity controls.

Conduct More Research, With Less Risk

Built-in de-identification and security measures support compliance with HIPAA, GDPR and IRB, with options for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Build the Foundation for Future Research

Full data lineage and versioning keep your research reproducible and your data ready for secondary analysis or AI development.

Automate Manual Work to Accelerate Research

Spend less time on routine data processing and more time discovering insights with Flywheel Gears, containerized plug-in algorithms that automate routine data pre-processing tasks, from QC and classification to full analytic pipelines.

8 Months to 1 Day

Researchers at UW Madison cut manual processing time significantly.

Built for Secure Multisite Collaboration

Share imaging data and pipelines across institutions without compromising security or compliance. Flywheel’s federated identity and role-based access controls make external collaboration seamless.

Create a Golden Data Lake for Further Analysis

Bring together imaging data from clinical trials, data lakes, internal systems and third parties in one central repository for secondary analysis and AI development.

240+ Datasets Ingested

A top 10 biopharma company united datasets representing 100K+ patients.

Flywheel Is Purpose-Built for Imaging Research

Data Capture

Rapid, Flexible Data Ingestion

Ingest imaging and video data from PACS, RIS, raw data sources or file systems with automated capture tools for both retrospective and prospective data. Flywheel’s drag-and-drop web upload requires no software installation, and high-performance bulk loading handles large datasets with ease.

Flywheel supports multimodal data ingest, including CT, MRI, PET, X-ray, OCT, Ultrasound and more.

Data Curation

Organize, Label and Annotate

Standardize imaging data to uniform quality and convert to standards such as DICOM. Customize metadata, labeling and annotation guidelines. And leverage our integrated high-grade image and video viewers and built-in task manager for blind reader studies.

Automate & Compute

Automate and Compute

Automate preprocessing and analytic workflows with Flywheel Gears, containerized plug-ins that handle QC/QA, classification, de-identification and format conversion. Create custom Gears or choose from 100+ ready-to-use applications on the Gear Exchange, including 3rd party AI algorithms.

Collaboration & Compliance

Secure Sharing Across Institutions

Invite external collaborators via federated identity integration with 4,000+ research institutions worldwide. Manage access with role-based permission and approval workflows.

Customization

Connect to Your Existing Workflows

Open REST APIs and SDKs for Python, MATLAB and R enable rapid integration with existing pipelines. Access and analyze curated datasets directly in Jupyter Notebook, RStudio or MATLAB without leaving the data environment.

Provenance

Automatically Track Full Data Provenance

Every upload, edit and gear run is automatically logged in Flywheel for reproducible research. Add optional audit trail functionality for FDA-ready submissions.
