As the Sr. Image Analyst. you manage transfers and processing of medical image data files from Biogen-contracted external vendors and partners. The imaging transfers are collected in support of research projects and clinical development. You ensure alignment of the received data files with the expected inventory from the study performed, leveraging a secure transfer for receipt. As the Sr. Image Analyst, you will code processing scripts to assess the data quality (QC) summarize and organize the data to enable data use for analysis. You will collaborate with scientists to enable analytics, including participating in the sharing of Biogen imaging data with internal and external analytics stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

• Produce coded scripts for automated QC and processing of medium to large medical image datasets. These scripts not only assess the quality and completeness of received imaging data, but also can reorganize the hierarchical structure of the data, and extract and package image data to align with internal and external image data sharing requests.
• Participate in image data transfer specification review in coordination with imaging operations team and image data supplier.
• Coordinate with imaging operations team, imaging scientists and external organizations to resolve quality issues and missing data discovered in image transfers. Works with team members to ensure uniformity in deliverables, across all types of imaging data.
