Radiologists spend hours looking through images every day, which means they have less time to interpret findings and treat patients. This was the reason for creating ChRIS.    

"Creating ChRIS" is a video series from Red Hat that shows what happens when passionate visionaries and open technologies come together. Born out of a tight partnership between Boston Children’s Hospital, the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC), and Red Hat, the series follows a group of talented researchers as they develop the “ChRIS Research Integration System” an open source, web-based medical imaging platform that greatly increases the speed at which medical professionals can analyze medical images such as MRIs.
