[Data processing in secure data processing environments using the example of MRI brain scans-a simultaneous plea for a legal provision for data processing for scientific research purposes].

The use of data for medical scientific research offers great potential for society as a whole, as the evaluation of large volumes of data with machine learning methods can result in new research approaches as well as new methods of diagnostics or treatment. However, the use of such data often fails due to high prerequisites or unclear requirements of data protection law.Processing of radiology data, such as MRI brain scans, is tied to specific risks for data subjects.
