TLDR
What are gaps in the way medical image computing is pursued today; how a well-executed research platform can enable discovery, innovation and reproducible science ("Open Science"); and how the quest to build such a software platform has evolved into a productive and rewarding social engineering exercise in building an open-access community with a shared vision are discussed.About:
