CXR Foundation Access Form

Thank you for your interest in CXR Foundation (the “Tool”). The Tool generates custom embeddings from chest x-ray (CXR) images and these embeddings can be used to develop custom machine learning models for CXR with less data and compute. You can read more about the research behind the Tool in our recent publication:  Simplified Transfer Learning for Chest Radiography Models Using Less Data

Introduction

The Tool generates custom embeddings from chest x-ray images. These embeddings can be used to develop custom machine learning models for chest x-rays with less data and compute than other approaches.   

Use Restrictions

Do not use the Tool, or any embeddings you generate from the Tool, to provide patient care.  For example, you may not use the Tool, or any embeddings you generate from the Tool, as or in a medical device.     

Do not use the Tool if your use of the Tool, including your sharing of content with the Tool, would conflict with any commitment you’ve made to a third party. 

Do not use the Tool, or any embeddings you generate from the Tool, to: 

  • recreate any training data used to develop the underlying model;

  • decompile, unlock, disassemble, or otherwise translate the software or any underlying models; or

  • generate any identifying information about an individual.  

If you have questions about uses of the Tool, contact us at cxr-foundation@google.com.

Sharing Content with the Tool

While you have no obligation to upload or share any content with the Tool, if you choose to do so, please make sure the content doesn’t contain any identifying information - such as Protected Health Information under HIPAA or Personal Data under GDPR.  For example, do not upload or share any chest x-rays to the Tool that include a patient medical record number. 

This requirement is in addition to the requirements under the Google Terms of Service that you have the necessary rights to any content you upload or share with our services and that the content is lawful.

Suspension or Termination

In addition to the situations where we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Google Account under the Google Terms of Service, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Tool if we reasonably suspect your use may cause harm to a third party, such as a patient.
